Day 20 : The Search For Power

Woke up at the train station , at least i had my bags...Rob was apparently robbed of his bag with all his documents, passport, etc, while he stayed in Munich that night . ( you should have stayed with us Rob ) Today we have to pick our friend from Finland ( Paskalintu ) Petri Riihelainen , he is landing at Munich airport to join us on our way to Cortina D'Ampezzo ( tournament ,Italy ) . So i am awake about 3 hours before Rainer even though we went to bed at the same time ( LOL) and i decide to scour the train station for somewhere with power! The camper is awesome but we could never figure out how to keep a charge in it to power the lights in it overnight ( yes we need candles ) . So i am basically behind on my blogging due to a lack of power for my laptop. And it is not like home ( Toronto) where there are places to plug in everywhere , you can't even find power outlets on the outsides of arenas, train stations, nowhere! So we begin driving around looking for a camper parking lot with power ...we keep stopping at parking lots with no power until we finally find one . We charge up as much as we can until we have to drive to the airport to meet Petri .

We drive to Munich airport and we are totally confused about where to go ( it is a maze there around the airport and inside of it too ) Petri is confused too . Rainer parks the camper and goes in to meet Petri and they both emerge with big smiles on their faces , and Petri is introduced to the Hockey Wagon , AKA The Love Boat ( LOL) . I let Petri sit in the front so he does not get too scared to run off to the next plane away from this beast of a vehicle . We begin our drive to Bad Tolz to have a practise with a hobby league team there . On most days i had and have no clue as to what is going on and for some reason no one knew that we were there to play hockey , the team that we were there to practise with did not even know . Rainers contact was nowhere to be found , but somehow we weaseled our way onto the ice with their 3 goalies and 8 skaters ( without us ) . These guys were not good but we wanted to use the showers after ( LOL) yeah no shower in camper so city to city , hockey , shower ....hockey on the road rules !

I get onto the ice and these guys must be whining in German about the fact that there are already 3 goalies, but i don't give a shit....so i was lucky enough to get 15 minutes of ice time and jump into the shower. After the guys got off the ice we went for a bite to eat and drove to a park to park our camper , tonight we get to sleep beside a stream . Tomorrow we begin our drive to Cortina , no drinking tonight , nursing hangover from Oktoberfest .....
