Well today was mostly the day. Spent some time walking around the main town square, revisiting some of the churches, but this time going up to the top the the “Alte Peter” (Old Peter) which is the tower of St. Peter’s Church. It gives a great panorama view all around the city, from what looks … More Oktoberfest

And I should probably get some. It’s pretty cold. Shorts don’t really cut it in the Bavarian Autumns. Anyways I got off to a late start today and decided to go for a walking city tour focusing on the rise of the Third Reich and how the Nazis came to power. When I was in … More I Have No Pants

Another fun day trip north out of Munich to the old Roman settlement originally known as Castra Regina. Now known as the Bavarian city of Regensburg. It has a long history, as does every city in Germany, and it was neat visiting the old town. It has a really cool 800 year old medieval bridge … More Thurn und Taxis

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!
