Muenster

Muenster - home of monastaries in germany for over 1000 years.... prudish bastards.... hell no!!!
The place I am staying Haus zum guten Hirten - house on guten hirten was accommodation for either nuns or priests, and is still run by nuns... however...
you can buy alcohol from the front desk, you can smoke in the corridors, the dorms are coed. The doors are locked at 9.00 pm sharp - but your key gets you in and out of the building. Keep the noise down in your room - but go the common areas and go nuts... religious progressiveness at it's best.

Anyhow I decide to let myself out of the building and head off for the clubs at 11pm... never go clubbing too early in germany, as i have said before germans need a good skin-full of alcohol before they open up and get chatty.

Clubs are difficult to find in Muenster, there aren't that many. The place has a real canberra feel about it. the average age is a little older, many cultural persiuts, there is some money in this town... and did I mention the friggin' bikes? I am talking tens of thousands of the buggers.

back to the clubs - my GPS cold find me any ask some people - the one I find who can understand my german is from out of town and didn' really know. But was worth talking to anyway. So it was a matter of following groups around the town and eventually they would lead to a club.

bingo! Saturday night and this one club was pumping - buggered if i can remember the name, 2 dance floors 4 bars, pretty packed. typical scene, guys all hiding in one spot, girls off in another. Anyhow night went as usual and just before the end I stop off to get a diet coke and find my way home. And this is where serendipity reared it's head as it has during the entire trip - the good stuff happens where you least expect it... lets just say I met quite a few people after buying this drink and ended up on the lounge floor 10 ks west of Muenster... hmm let's leave it at that for now... :)
