Another mostly slow walking day for relaxing and seeing some of the stranger things Munich has to offer. Unfortunately no shopping because it’s Sunday, and Germany doesn’t believe in customer service! I say that tongue in cheek… more or less. Anyways, I mostly just walked around like yesterday then headed back to the Munich Residenz, … More Catch A Wave… In Munich?

A not so bad day, nothing exciting, but still quite enjoyable to just be out and about. Started off going to the main Munich city square and going into the Frauenkirche – Church of our Lady – if I remember right, last time the church was closed for renovations and was closed off. This time … More Munich Day 2

Another day outside of boring, lame old Munich. I just had to get away from the sight of Trachten (the name for the traditional clothing of men’s Lederhosen, and women’s Dirndls) everywhere. So I got as far as a nearly 3 hour train ride would take me (1 way). I headed to the island of … More The Island Of Three Corners

Day trip! Some more literal last minute planning while on the subway to the main train station led me to take a day trip to the sort-of nearby city of Landsberg am Lech. (Landsberg on the Lech River). It’s a pretty city, with another old town center. There’s not a whole lot to do, but … More Landsberg Knows How To Church

Wellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll, due to sleeping in pretty late today which was nice, my plans changed pretty drastically. I decided instead to go to a place called Schloss Nymphenburg, a grand palace built in the 1600’s. It served as a Summer home for emperors of Bavaria of the Wittelsbach family. It’s pretty cool, but not as grand … More A Palace And A Museum

I am back! But before I get to that I have to go over the things that happened earlier today. As I said yesterday there were a couple things I wanted to do, one thing being a visit to Albrecht Dürer’s house. A famous painter and book image maker, which was very rare at the … More Ich Bin Zurück!

Well, I didn’t do much today, I had plans, but since closing your stores and museums is Germany’s national sport, I spent they day pretty much just walking around shops, and going in shops. It was mostly museums that were closed, but I didn’t actually have anything big planned, I really just wanted to go … More A Shopping Day?

Well, I just didn’t have enough fun the last time I went to Nuremberg, so I’m back again! (Known as Nürnberg in Germany.) The lovely gothic town in northern Bavaria/Eastern Franconia which I’m sure you’re very familiar with. I didn’t have much time to do stuff today, and the time I did have was spent … More That -berg Again

Well, as I said I am back in Bavaria, in a city with a unique secret. The buildings, many of them, or possibly even all of them with the wall included contains tens of thousands of tons of diamonds – over 70 thousand tons! Many of the buildings that aren’t painted sparkle in the sun … More The City Of Diamonds

…And by saddle I mean the best state in Germany – Bavaria! So basically the story of today was trains, trains and more trains. Some of my plans didn’t work out for my next intended stops, due to poor location, and very high prices so I stayed up very very late last night deciding what … More Back In The Saddle
