May 28

Munich
I got into Munich several hours before Lars. I walked down the road from the train station and headed into the Augustiner-Keller Biergarten.

May 29

To Livigno, Italy
The next morning we start packing up. We picked up the bikes the night before. Here's Lars making sure everything is packed right before we hit the road.

On our way towards Livigno we stopped in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. We find a cafe and I ordered what was supposed to be some kind of cheesecake-like dessert. It wasn't.

We made it to the hotel Posta Livigno. There's not a lot happening in this ski town outside of the winter season. A lot of the restaurants and stores were closed.
