It's Sunday

which means most restaurants and shops are closed.  Our Apricot coffee shop was closed so we had to make instant coffee and eat granola bars. Then we took the five hour train ride...backwards and we were in first class. If you travel first or business class, you can have food delivered to your seat. We had mediocre ham sandwiches and Cokes. The train was ending at Munich. It was huge. I don't know whether everyone had to sit backwards or just business and first class.

Not sure but possibly a bootleg cab took us to the hotel after first taking us to the wrong one. He did turn off the meter when I reminded him I had given him the address so it probably turned out to be the same price as the real taxis. 

After being checked into the Altstadt Hotel Kasererbrau by a surly clerk, we walked around the main square,  checking out what sites to see and looking for restaurants that were open. There were very few. Mostly pizza places. We ended up at an Italian restaurant close to the hotel. It was a step above Chef Boyardee but they forgot to bring the salad and the service was slow. 

There seems to be very few touring English speakers of either the American or British kind. It was difficult booking a centrally-located hotel but the tourists could be German or Austrian. Also, there is English on menus but not on most of the signs and posters. I'm not saying there should be, but it's a surprise since we just left a place where many of the people seemed embarrassed if they hadn't noticed we were English speakers. 

We did see some beautiful buildings and fountains on the short walk to the square.

Tomorrow we have to tour the Domquartier because it's closed on Tuesdays. There's no explanation for why that's true.
