München
Hello from Munich, Bavaria.. the home of Oktoberfest, leiderhosen and the Nazi party
Yes, Jeni and I can rattle off a few facts about Munich now, after taking the free city tour today.
We actually got into town yesterday and checked out the local markets (Viktualienmarkt) and then headed down to the very impressive technology museum. I have some great photos of the aeronautic exhibitions but unfortunately cant upload from here.
Met with Brooke and Tash and an American chick called Mary-Ann for dinner last night which continued into a boozy night at their hostel bar.
Today was mostly taken up by the city walking tour. We saw all the churches, historic building etc. The highlights were the Hofbraühaus - the most famous beer hall in the world, and the very ritzy Maximillian St with the €15 coffee shop. The guide was great, with lots of interesting beer related facts and jokes. Like that during Oktoberfest, the Australian govt. sets up a temporary embassy in Munich to deal with all the Aussies who loose their passport while downing Steins.
Tonight has been quiet, booking accomm in Venice and working out the Italian leg of the trip. Cooked a nice chicken, tomato and olive pasta in the very ordinary kitchen facilities here at the hostel.
Heading to Dachau tomorrow - the site of the Nazi concentration camp. Should be a interesting experience. Might check out a Munich beer hall tomorrow night too so dont be disappointed if there is no update tomorrow night :)
