Walking in Munich

Today was our first real day exploring Europe. Linda and woke early, after about twelve hours of catch-up sleep. Our goal for the previous night was to erase the jet lag from the long flight to Munich.

After breakfast in our hotel, we met up with our friends Gary and Susan. We know them from Venture Out. They live in British Columbia. They also love to travel as much as us. When they told us they had a two bedroom apartment in Munich and asked if we wanted to join them, we didn’t hesitate to agree to stay with them.

The four of us checked into the apartment, dropped our bags in our rooms, and then headed out to Englisher Garden. Yesterday when Linda and I walked into the park in search of food, the weather was damp and the park was near empty. Today the weather was great and the paths and tables in the several beer gardens we visited were full.

We made the best of the sunny day by walking the entire length of the park. After four stops for some cold German refreshments, we strolled into downtown Munich.

We had a great meal in Marineplatz, the heart of downtown Munich. We shared an outside table, overlooking the Glockenspeil and the main square.

It was close to 10 PM when we finally rode the S-Bahn back to the apartment in Unterföhring. Time to rest up and get ready for more adventures in the morning.
