Bavaria Bavaria Bavaria!
Lots of fun being had the in the capital.
Atmosphere and warm lighting beckon to the Bräuhaus' as you walk past. Schweinshaxe restaurants that allow you to choose from a platter of knuckles, long communal tables with potential friends and lots of beer, baskets of pretzels always on the tables.....it is what I expected the bavarian drinking and eating culture to be like. I love it when things meet and exceed my expectations. The service in every establishment we have visited has been fantastic. It is like no arseholes work in Munich at all. (edit: turns out there are at least 2 that work for the tour group Radius we encountered)
It almost feels like all we have done in Munich is eat and drink - but we have actually managed to slip in a couple of other interesting things as well. I visited the Schloss Nymphenburg while GB and Dave went to the BMW museum. We took a tour of Dachau and visited the German National Museum and the park that entertains Oktoberfest.
Today we caught the train to the end of the line, hiked 3kms up a hill through woods and arrived at a Monestary / brewery. The monestary sat atop of hill overlooking pasture and farms and in the near distance the alps sparkled. It was great. Afterwards we hiked down the hill in darkness to make our way back to town to see in the new year with Munich. Chaos and fun ensued. People letting off fireworks everywhere. We went to the park that Oktoberfest is usually held in. And it was a mass of people putting on their own display of fireworks that built up and peaked for 20 mins at midnight and then lasted another 20 mins. I have never experienced anything like it.
I would move to Munich in a heartbeat.
