Yo!

Okay, so just to throw out another concept...fly into Munich and drink some big ass beers, hit up bamberg for a variety of delicious brews and vicious gas, brussels for those of us that like all kinds of shit in their beer, and, well, Amsterdam.  From Amsterdam we could catch a cheap ryan air flight (looks like about 100 euros) to Rome.  The only long travel segment in that scheme would be bamberg to Brussels, which is about an 8 hour train ride that right now is listed at about 130 euros.  Not sure if that's too ambitious, but my thought was to save time on what would be a long trip south to Rome.  Also, might be good for some of us to end the tour on a chilled out note...you know, with cigars in vaginas and everything.
