We flew into Munich and immediately had need for our new chip-based MasterCard; the train ticket kiosk required one. We found our pension, Pension Jakobsplatz, right in the center of town above an Afghan restaurant. We could walk, or take a bus, anywhere in the city, although we were right in the center.

There was a pre-Oktoberfest celebration in town. Fair booths, rock concerts, and even foreign entertainment led us up and down the river through town.

Here I am heading up the cliff below the pass. While there is a cable available, I decided to do the path without aid.

Back to Neustift and time to leave for Italy. Things are getting wetter and colder.
