Dutch is messing with my German brain cells

The Amsterdam airport, besides being large enough to have several zip codes, is very clean and it's very easy to get around. At first I didn't realize that I was in a small segmented international part of the airport, but when I left passport control they made me finish the liter of water I had just bought at the duty free. I suppose I need to stay hydrated anyways.

So the plan as it stands now is to get into the Munich airport in Freising, jump on a train to Munich proper and then to Strasbourg to crash at a friend's apartment (thanks Amanda!). Then I'll leave from there Thursday morning, weather-permitting down the Rhine and to the Bodensee, and up to Munich. I still have to do some serious estimating about how much ground I can cover per day and when I might get to Munich. The original plan was to bike away and take a train back, so it matters a little more now if I want to fit in a few liters of beer before Rome.
