      Munich

      22 juli 2023, Duitsland ⋅ 🌙 19 °C

      Despite having a few days in Munich, most of our exploring was done either at night or in rain so there's not a lot of photos to share. There was also a lot of infrastructure and restoration work happening so a lot of potential photos were spoiled by scaffolding and worksites. Even so, we really enjoyed exploring old town and the city more broadly.Meer informatie

      Tour Day 1 - Munich

      9 juli 2023 ⋅ ☀️ 32 °C

      Today we woke up and had a buffet breakfast at the hotel which was delicious and had all the classics like meats, cheeses and bread rolls, a perfect German brekky. We then got ready and packed, walking to another hotel to start our tour. The hotel was packed with people all meeting and starting tours, 3 were starting today. Bags, humans, chaos everywhere. We found our guide and took our bags to a storage room. Next we all met in the breakfast room and had a chat about tour expectations. Everyone seemed very nice but very different walks of life.
      We then walked to the train station to head into Munich. It was incredible watching our guide try to teach people how to use public transport and then watch everyone scuttle to get on the trains. We finally made it to the city and it was gorgeous. Everywhere you turned there was more beautiful, old buildings. We had an orientation tour showing us mostly churches, then were taken to one of the most famous beer halls in the world. We sat down and a couple from the tour from America sat with us too. Erin and I had a few beers and some food, all were so good! The vibes were unmatched too, there was a live Oompa band playing and the building was beautiful.
      Next Erin guided us on a tour of the city. So many big, grand buildings, lovely outdoor spaces and a park with a river. A bunch of people had their feet in the river so we sat down and did the same. It was super refreshing. We then went into one of the churches which was gorgeous. It was then time to find a pub to watch the formula one in. We went to the Irish/Aussie pub and it was on all the screens. It was a great vibe and such an exciting race. Lots of beer later, we headed to dinner. We were running one minute late and somehow were the last to get there. So we have a slight reputation of being late, leading to much banter being thrown our way.
      Dinner was very nice, we sat with an Australian and Canadian couple who were lovely. The Australian couple have adopted the role of tour experts, so it will be interesting to watch that unfold. We caught the train back to the accommodation and got our rooms. Erin and I watched selling sunsets and then headed to sleep.

      München

      20 april, Duitsland ⋅ ☁️ 5 °C

      Zaterdag ben ik vertrokken vanaf Tilburg naar München! Samantha (vriendin van middelbare school) doet hier haar exchange dus dat was leuk om te combineren. We hebben ons heel goed vermaakt en hebben voor de verandering samen niet eens veel gekke dingen beleeft. Volgens Samantha zouden onze ervaringen alleen als avontuurlijk bestempeld worden in een Libelle blog 😂. Munchen is een hele grote stad met enorm veel musea, voornamelijk gefocust op kunst! Een paar kleine cultuurshocks had ik wel: in restaurants komen ze je alleen helpen als je oogcontract krijgt en overduidelijk zwaait. Geen service dus haha. Mensen dringen in het ov nogal voor. Bier is echt overal te krijgen maar ik heb me niet gewaagd aan een bierhuis door mijn kleine blaas. Het is frühlingsfest deze weken dus grappig om leeftijdsgenoten in lederhose te zien lopen door de stad. Meer fotos volgen nog! Op naar Salzburg morgen!Meer informatie

    • Dag 5

      München Altstadt

      1 mei, Duitsland ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C

      I woke up this morning eager to see as much of Munich in the morning as I could. Today is 1st May, Labour day in Germany, a national holiday. The sun is shining brightly ☀️ so I'm assuming today will be another busy day in the city centre.

      The streets were far quieter this morning and so I was able to see a lot of the major sights I wanted to check out while I was here - Marienplatz with it's two town halls, Odeonsplatz and the Munich Residenz, the Hofgarten and State Chancellery, and the Viktualienmarkt. Munich is a city filled with grand, impressive buildings marking its long and proud history and distinct regional identity.

      After climbing up the tower in Peterskirche for a panoramic view, I went on a walking tour of the Altstadt led by a very enthusiastic Nebraskan called Brett. He was very knowledgeable about three essential elements of Munich's history - beer, Bavarians and Nazis. The tour was very informative and particularly highlighted how Munich had rebuilt itself after the end of the second world war. Unlike cities such as Berlin, which opted to rebuild themselves in a very modern, forward-looking aesthetic, Munich rebuilt itself as close to its original specifications as possible. This even went so far as to rebuild St Peter's Church with a cannonball lodged into it which had previously become stuck there during the Napoleonic wars!

      After the tour I had to check out the Hofbraühaus, Munich's quintessential beer hall. It has a fun vibe, if a bit overpriced 💶 This afternoon I think I'll be heading to a few different beer gardens to take in the Labour Day atmosphere in different parts of the city and take a tour of the Neuerathaus or the Residenz.

      Jour 1 - de Paris à Munich 🇩🇪

      30 juli 2022, Duitsland ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

      Voici les News du premier jour du voyage ! 🇩🇪
      Nous avons commencé notre journée par un réveil à 5h du matin, la nuit fut assez courte car les derniers réglages des paquetages se sont faits jusqu’à 1h du matin la veille 😅
      Nous avons pris un départ de Paris Gare de l’Est à 6h55 et sommes arrivés à 12h30 à Munich avec une correspondance à Stuttgart.

      Les vélos ayant été démontés la veille, nous avons dû les remonter à notre arrivée à Munich. Nous sommes ensuite allés déjeuner dans une auberge typique bavaroise des Rahmschnitzel et des Jagerschnitzel.
      Nous avons visité une partie du centre ville en nous baladant vers Marienplatz, le Frauenkirche, le nouvel Hôtel de Ville de Munich et l’église Saint-Pierre de Munich.

      La journée s’est terminée avec un dîner dans un restaurant bavarois / balkanique où nous avons découvert les Cevapcici et les Raznjici !

      Au final, c’était une grosse journée avec 13km de marche en plus de la fatigue du voyage, mais nous avons pu visiter l’hypercentre et goûter des spécialités !
      Toute l’équipe va bien dormir pour redémarrer en forme demain pour notre dernier jour de visite de Munich !

      The rest of our day in Munich

      10 juli 2022, Duitsland ⋅ ⛅ 66 °F

      Miles: 6.0 Steps: 15782
      Flights stairs: 7

      After we visited Dachau, and picked ourselves up off the floor figuratively, we headed out exploring Munich. Honestly, we could have just headed back to our hostel as it was so upsetting to go thru, but we only have one day here so didn’t have that luxury.

      We went over to the Olympic park, where they held the 1972 summer games. It’s really neat to see how these cities have repurposed these massive areas built for the Olympics. Munich has made much of it useable for the people today. Germans close down almost every building that can be on Sundays - and they are known for going out and enjoying themselves. We could see that today at the park. So many families out.

      Then we headed into old town - saw the town hall and squares. There are protests in almost every city over the Ukraine situation. Today tho I believe this one was regarding Bosnia. And it’s unbelievable how many pride flags we see in every country - love it!!

      Eventually we found ourselves in the very historical Hofbraeuhaus Beer Hall. It is over 500 years old - strangely, we started our day at a concentration camp and ended it at a beer hall where Hitler once stood. I’ve only had a sip or two of other peoples beer over the years - never enjoyed the taste or the smell. But today, couldn’t let Jordan drink alone so had my first! Figured why not start big … so had a full liter. Can’t say I enjoyed it that much, but didn’t hate it either. 🍺

      Munich by train bus bike and by foot!

      27 augustus 2022, Duitsland ⋅ ⛅ 63 °F

      Saturday in Munich did not disappoint! Started with THE most wonderful breakfast, we could’ve stayed and stayed!
      So many sights, a real melting pot of so many cultures, food and language-such a vibrant city. We visited Dachau with an outstanding guide (rivaled Richard from London), unreal to be standing where thousands have suffered. Truly a time solemn reflection.
      Then on to biking our way to and through the English Gardens in Munich - to say Munich is a bike friendly city is quite the understatement.
      Now we are enjoying a lovely evening with dinner and the off to Hofbrau to dance on the tables…

      A beer at Hofbrauhaus

      24 november 2023, Duitsland ⋅ 🌧 4 °C

      No visit to Munich is complete without having a litre of beer at the world famous Hofbrauhaus. I didn’t really want to, but thought I should “take one for the team” and check it out.

      It’s a massive hall and it was absolutely chockers… but we eventually found a table and ordered some German cuisine. I had German Sausage with mustard and potato salad. Nicky had spinach dumplings in a blue cheese sauce. It was a simple meal, but absolutely delicious.

      And then there’s the beer… I don’t think I’ll be able to drink a Great Northern or XXXX again. It is the best beer I’ve had in ages. I can’t put my finger on exactly what the difference was, but it was delightful.

      Check out the photo of the men's urinal... obviously a lot of beer to get rid of. I wanted to stand in the centre and see if I could hit all of them, but they frowned on that for some reason... 😂

      Unfortunately, the Oompah Band went on extended break before I could get a video, but that was a good excuse to go back the next day. So now we have a video.

      Overall, a delightful end to the day…

      Munich, Germany

      22 april, Duitsland ⋅ ☁️ 43 °F

      We got an early start to Munich from Venice. The Dolomite mountains (NE Alps) are covered w snow today, and it's sunny but cold. Good thing we bought hats and mittens in Venice. Beautiful drive through snow-capped mountains and glacial river flows.

      Arrived in Munich, the capital of Bavaria, and home to Beer Festivals, Pretzels, and Bavarian traditions. So, of course, it's off to the Bavarian Beer Hall we go for dinner. Especially liked the personal Beer Stein lockers in the Bars. Did we mention big, soft, warm pretzels!?! BTW, it's also the start of the White Asparagus season.

      April 22
      Munich is a very walkable town full of old charm where, yes, people still walk about in Bavarian clothes on special occasions. Found several high-end shops selling lederhosen for men and dirndls for women. It's a traditional dress with a structured bodice, tightly tied and decoratively embroidered. Sexy for men is judged by calf size, so we all smiled when we saw pushup calf warmers for sale.

      Everyone knows about the Nazi past of Munich, and how it became the center of WW II. So what impressed us was how the City has come to terms with its past, how it has taken responsibility for it and what steps it took to make sure that the lessons are taught to kids so that the horrors never happen again.

      As we toured the city, our guide shared stories of Munich and its recovery after WWII. The city was reduced to rubble by Allied bombs during World War II. However, thanks to an unlikely combination of progressive politics, respect for Old World architecture, and the Marshall Plan, the city was able to make an impressive recovery.

      That afternoon, we decided to check out Springfest (a mini Octoberfest), and we really enjoyed the big tents where everyone sits together, the large pretzels and, of course, the Beer.
      Then headed back to the shopping street in search of hiking boots as we are headed for the Alps tomorrow.

      That night, we went to a Jazz club and heard a fabulous 18-piece big band playing the classics.

      April 23
      Early morning as we set out for a much more somber experience - a visit to the Dauchau Concentration Camp. A quiet reflection as we head towards Switerland.

      Christmas Markets

      27 november 2023, Duitsland ⋅ ☁️ 2 °C

      The Munich Christmas Markets opened today, so we decided to wander around and check things out.

      It was a nice day, but a little on the chilly side. So we had to make sure we kept ourselves topped up with the medicinal Glühwein.

      The markets were lovely, but being opening night it was absolute chockers. So we went and had another Glühwein... 😁
