First Full Day in Munich

Sat 09/06/07

Well our first full day in Munich started out fairly lazily with a short train trip to the Center of Munich to have a look at some of the shops...and to have a real life bavarian Meal ...see below



So we left Michelle's flat and caught the U-bahn to Marienplatz Station, when we got off we went to the tourist office to get a map!


Its a lovely square with fountains and big churches, but I really think you don't need a watch here as every tower has at least on clock on it!
We then went to the markets to check things out and to get some Gluten free stuff for the girls,
They had some neat stuff at these markets and some nice looking fruit!!!


SO this whet our appetite and so we went to on of Munich's many beer gardens and had a real Bavarian meal ... but no, no beer just Apfelschorle which comes in a handy 500ml glass. I had this schnitzel that was all wrapped up with mushrooms and cheese, Sam had a pork roast. It was very yummy!!! but very filling especially after drinking Apfelschorle.


It must have been happy hour as theres was a Umpa Band playing for beer ....
After this lunch, we did some more walking and looking into shops, we also et up with one of Michelle's friends in a very nice out door cafe in a big park with some cool flowers and fountains.
Then we went to place called the english gardens, very nice, Quiet and peaceful. Unless its sunny then its like the beach as there is a river that flows quite quickly out of storm water drain, and it makes a standing wave so you can actually surf in the river in the middle of Munich!!! - Crazy Germans!!!

THen after some more shopping we finally got home and crashed after dinner ....

Tune in tomorrow to see us go to the Disney Castle!!!, well sorta.

Ciao
