This trip was planned to be very different from all my other trips. One, it was going to be two months and two, I was going to dramatically change where I stayed so as to hopefully maximize my chances of speaking and improving my German. Previously, whenever I flew into München I always stayed at one particular hotel right across from the main train station or the Hauptbahnhof (Hbf). This time I elected to stay at an old, family ran Gasthaus in Ismaning, a suburb of München. It was a great call because I was able to check in very early and get some sleep. The next morning I headed to the Hbf and caught a train to Ansbach, Ansbach is about half-way between München and Ochsenfurt where I would be staying during November.
I was able to get a room on the ground floor of an old Hotel, the Platengarten. The hotel was very cool with a lot of beautiful wood and charming rooms. Ansbach was OK, because I was still trying to get on a local schedule.
Bis zum nächsten Mal!

A cold, foggy morning near the hotel before I head to the München Hbf.
Ansbach
I stayed at the hotel Platengarden. I had room 100 which opened up t a private courtyard. It was very quiet and peaceful. The Frühstückraum (breakfast room) at the hotel. It was certainly off season for the hotel and I often had the room to myself.
