Friday 12/6

We woke up late and missed breakfast. Our hotel only has breakfast, no other meals. We went out in search of something to eat. We found a place on the 5th floor of a department store called the Restaurant Galleria. We missed breakfast their too but they had plenty of selections. 

From there we found an apothecary in to find something for the bladder infections. They had some type of herbal meds. The next stop was a grocery store for some cranberry juice to change the acidity in my bladder to fight the infection. Grocery stores can be very hard to find. They hide them well. This one called Edeka was through a non-descript door then up an escalator. Later that evening I was already showing improvement in killing the bacteria. 

We went out in search of someplace to eat. We found the Augustiner Stammhaus Bierhalle. The menu was all in German, but when asked the waiter produced one in English. I ordered a pork dish and mom had chicken. When I asked what they had to drink he said Beer! I’m sure I committed a cultural faux pas since we were in a beer hall. Two guys at the same table spoke very good German but when the subejct of ‘where you from’ they said they were Ukrainian to which I replied Slava Ukraine (Glory to Ukraine)! I told them I keep up with war almost daily. I didn’t ask why they weren’t back home fighting for their country. The fact they spoke German so well probably meant they’ve been here a while. Was stopped at another apothecary and got some Ducolax for the other problem. I only took one because I didn’t want there to be a blowout.


When we got back to the hotel I turned on the TV only to find that every station was German. Now who is most likely yo be in a hotel,a German or someone from another country? Even Oslo, Norway had the BBC.
