Guter Tag!

We are in Munich.  This is the trip we had scheduled for May of 2020 that had to be canceled because of Covid. (Hmmm do I find it slightly unsettling that auto fill offered up ‘because of Covid’ as a likely end to that sentence?)

Anyway, here we are. The goal is to see Bavaria at large.  Having arrived on a red-eye, we are just taking in a few sites here before picking up a rental car and heading out tomorrow. 

We are staying in a crap little hotel at the train station (one block from where the bus from the airport drops us off and one block from the rental car office). Dropped the bags at 8a and started walking to the Marienplatz. A nice straight shot past churches ( St Michaels and Frauenkirche) and the bronze boar


And a Five Guys


But we were here for local fare so we walked past and instead had a late breakfast of  Munich’s weisswurst (white veal sausage), pretzels, mustard and beer - of course. At a table perfectly positioned directly across from the New Town Hall where the clock tower showcases the famous Glockenspiel.


Let’s try a brief video clip or two…




We continued a circuit through the marketplace and to see the Hofbrauhaus beer garden (it’s huge!)

Gonna rest now.
