I've been told that I am a peculiar tourist, what with the season and all, but it has been fabulous. The weather has suited me well, but I am aware of the horrors to come. Last 2 days were grey, cold and wet, but still good. Hoping for more snow and/or sunshine. And more countries after some R&R
Munich is a handsome town. Capital of Bavaria and has a lot of surprises for the ignorant tourist, such as your correspondent. I thought that all Germany had basically turned Protestant back in the day but no. A very catholic town it is. With very fine food and beer (although Tingo would probably have died of starvation with the local definition of 'vegetarian' seeming to be 'eats less meat'.
A fountain in the old botanic garden (I like fountains, okay? So don't get all psychological about this)
I don't even know what building this one is, but I was impressed.
This is the new town hall on Marienplatz. I like the fact that the town call, with councillors inside, is called a Rathaus. Seems appropriate.
As you can see, I have once more been moderately luck with the weather. I say moderately, because snow doesn't suit everyone and it is definitely getting colder. The two pictures below were taken today, so you can see the grey.
This one shows a building that is I think under redevelopment (part of the Residenz - I like how the German spelling could pass as Old School as in Tupac). Either that or they got a bit carried awa with the trompe l'oeil. I'm learning new phrases all the time, eh?
