Rain, trains, and automobiles - Scuol to Munich

I thought I was here during summer, not winter. I was talking to my buddy Matt on the phone last night and I looked out the window to watch it dumping the fluffy stuff. It didn.t stick, but it was purty! I guess I should have gone further yesterday to get away from the rain and snow, but the spa was nice and Scuol isn.t a bad town. Note to anyone planning to take the train out of Scuol to Innsbruck, Austria (east of town), it CAN.T be done without getting on a bus. Herding livestock comes to mind when riding a bus. And putting your life into the herders´hands is another. Don.t take the bus unless you have to because the dumb §ßer will drop your bike off at a point along the way. Yes that.s right, somewhere between Oompaloompaville and Landeck he took my bike off the back of the bus (which I did not see of course) and handed the bike to the closest tree to take for a spin. I don.t know what he was thinking. But I was calm and didn.t get pissed and my psychiatrist would be proud! So I got to wait an extra hour, and miss the train, so that I could wait for my bike to arrive. Fortunately it did and I made my way without any other incidents to Munich, or Munchen, depending on what you read or how you say it. I think a full day of sight seeing will be enough for me, but if anyone reads this and has a recommendation of places to go or sights to see please email me. I will be going to Prague on Friday and Berlin next week, so any of you travel guides can tell me what to do and more importantly, what NOT to do. Ok, I need food, time to go.
