Munich

Today started with the best breakfast yet - the hotel has some odd color choices, but the food this morning was great. Fresh cantaloupe, pineapple, watermelon along with boiled eggs, multiple breads, cheeses, and sliced hams and salamis, along with cereal and a cappuccino machine. After that feast, Ainsley and I headed out to the town. First was the Marienplatz, and the Glockenspiel.


We arrived at 10:55, just in time for the first performance of the day. After, we got some information from the tourist center on walking routes, and to take care of another chore. Taking care of that, we headed to the Frauenkirch - the windows are a very interesting mix of new and old. Ainsley took the time to light a candle.



Next, we headed down to the open air market, before wandering through the pedestrian zones by the Opera house and old Royal residences, and ending up in the Englishergarden. Enjoyed our walk, and got the thunderstorm that had been predicted. We stopped at the central Chinese Pavilion Biergarden and had lunch - I had a radler, a beer with lemon soda, while Ainsley had a currant soda and we both had bratwursts. Taking our time to finish the drinks, we were there when the brass band started playing.


Out and around the pond, we then headed back towards the town, and after watching the locals do one of the original river floats, Ainsley had to put her feet into the water!


Enjoyed our walk back to the hotel, doing some window shopping and people watching on the main shopping street before an earlier night than the past few. Ainsley did have a little issue with the local wildlife....
