For TB and visiting the city... Yes for the last day we gone to the fair, AGAIN!, but before we left our baggage at main station lockers, and take a look at Hippodrom, but was to light for us, older people, so we look for an other HOFBRÄUS FESTZELT, that looks OK! There we order our last Mass an…

Two girls didn't care about the weather forecast so that morning they went out wearing coats while everyone else was wearing light sweaters and even just t-shirts.  They had some heavy breakfast though, just trying to make most of what they paid for the hostel which was 100 euros for the …

Our train to Heidelberg was pre-booked about a month ago as it's cheaper if you book them in advance. The train was due to leave at 9:40am and we got up at 7:30am but went back to sleep until 8am as the free breakfast doesn't start till 8am on Sundays. We were making OK time and were just packing u…

The day started the same way like on Saturday: When the alarm bell of my friend's mobile phone woke me up ruggedly after mere 5 hours of sleep again, I had to restrain myself from strangling him.After breakfast, we walked downtown to climb up the steeple of Old Peter, how our guide the day before h…

Our last day and Sam said she'd actually spend today with me. I had a shower and washed my hair, narrowly avoiding hypothermia. We got ready and got to the Showgrounds at about 11.30. It was pointless, we didn't even try get in. The beerhalls all close early on weekends as it gets so busy. So we wa…

As much as I hate to be a cliche... it had to be done.Living in Europe, right next to Munich and not seeing an Oktoberfest just would not have been right.I missed it last year as I had the joy of spending 3 weeks in the deserts of Libya.So I was determined to get there this year. I was fortunate en…

Drunken European Vacation aka Oktoberfest aka Munich Tried To Kill Us aka Liver Olympics 2006 has come to a close.  I am happy to report that the team has arrived home and mostly in one piece.  I am sure we have all increased our beer drinking tolerances to ungodly limits w…

I live in Munich already 7 1/2 Years and i love this town

I spent 4 days in Munich and found the place to be quite pretty, friendly people and enough to see and do for a short trip.I stayed in the Holiday Inn Schwabing in the north of the city .Taxis to and from the airport are expensive so unless you can share then either a coach or train would be better .The weather was sunny and around 80F .There are a lot of eateries and bars in Muncher Freiheit and the Marienplatz areas .The English Garten and BMW museum are nice to visit.

Today was the day that we were signed up for the tour of the Neuschwanstein castle. Unfortunately we had to be up at 7:30 in order to get to the train station on time and we didn't get back to the hostel until 4:30am. So I was very much hung over/still drunk and it was very hard to actually get up …

Those of you who have been to the Alte Pinakothek, the old arts museum--not old building, old art--in Munich, might remember that you walk in right in the middle of it, and the paintings are mostly upstairs to both sides. Right at the entrance is the gift shop, which I figured I'd leave until the e…

  With construction on the Autobahn between Augsburg and Munich, and heavy traffic by road closures within the city, it was nearly eleven o'clock when Walter and I reached Manuela's  place. Her narrow residential street was lined with parked cars. Since she had no car, we were able to pa…

I came. I saw. I conquered.Oktoberfest had always been on my list of things to do before I die. Now I can check that off the list.When we decided to have our first reunion for my master's class in Europe, the natural choice was Munich for the annual Veisen, as two of our classmates lived there and …

Unbelieveably, we actually got up for the walking tour on this morning!  Granted, a little hungover again, but we were there.  It started at 11am at the New Town Hall where the glockenspiel chimes  out every fifteen minutes.  It depics a josting match in which Bavaria (unsu…

The last day.. really sad.. we woke up at 8.30 am (we were like zombies after the crazy night!!) cuz we were suppose to check out at 10.. a shower, pack the baggage, have breakfast and finally checked out.. We had a last walk around the city and we stopped at a McDonald's to have another breakfast:…
