DAY 5 (MAY 6-SUN) MUNICH TO PASSAU, GERMANY

Jean going to Mass at 8:30 at St. Peters–weren’t quite ready–Jean waits for no one.  Lots of huge Catholic Churches–went to St. Michael’s–asked a policeman–For some reason lots of policemen out.  Find St. Peters–one of highlights on trip.  Cardinal is saying mass in Latin–choir is like listening to an opera.  Church was destroyed in WWII & rebuilt like it was–unbelievable w/all art work & statues.  After Mass climbed 306 steep stairs to one of tallest pts in city–tourism is an athletic event here.  Jean took her pictures & left to go buy our train tickets–she has her own time schedule & agenda.  We are on this tour because of Jean but like she says–I’m very independent–it’s a good thing I have Armand to follow around.  He now thinks we are in Japan–He’s always in the lead & way out in front of me.  Get to the train station –2 hr ride to Passau.  Take cab to hotel & ride bus to pick up our bikes.  Jean did not want to ride a women’s bike–we took unisex bikes & the guy put on our clips.  Rode bikes to Happy WoK while Jean spent another 30 min making sure her bike was right.  Hotel Achat–very clean & nice.  Armand is already asleep preparing for our 1st day.  Weather has been rainy & cold.
