Munich



Got off the train in Munich and within 15 minutes were sitting in front of a litre glass of beer in a beer garden. We have now been to 5 beer gardens in a day and a half. There will likely be more. Also got some non-alcoholic activities in. Went to Dachau (Tony so kindly drove us out). Wouldn't say I enjoyed the experience but very much appreciated the experience. It's a huge place, quite astounding. All was very quiet and somber on the drive back . Came back to Munich and went for lunch in Viktualienmarkt (oh wait that involved beer) then climbed up St Peter's tower for a view of the city. Walked over to English gardens and watched the surfers in the river. You read that right. Got some photos that I can't wait to send to my surfer friends from Tofino. Wandered around the gardens, found a shady spot for a while and grew envious of the Munich lifestyle everyone seems to lead here. It was a Friday afternoon and the place was packed. Now I know why there are so many expats.
