German arrival..

Just arrived in Munich, where I got the the tube from the airport to where I'm staying near the river wave. I was impressed with the tube in some ways, for example they've managed to make the gap between the train and the platform small enough that you cant fall down it, and subsequently don't need to put 'mind the gap between the train and the platform' announcements out every 5 minutes, or it could just be they think the public are intelligent enough not to fall down said gap, which they obviously don't in the UK. I did however receive a dressing down from an (unnecessarily) stern large German fellow who was (in a team of three) prowling down the large aisles of the tube checking tickets. He seemed perplexed that I had not stamped my ticket using some machine ,after I bought it, before getting on the train, something which I cannot for the life of me work out the purpose of, as it had the date and time of purchase printed on the ticket!

Still I am pretty tired from the days travel, so maybe I will understand the reasoning for the hushed lecture by the morning.. when I plan to hit the aforementioned river wave. Check back for something other than drivel about the tube.
