Berlin was getting a little insipid and we couldn't wait to visit the good old Germanic Munich nestled somewhere near the Bavarian Alps and the legendary Black Forest (Hansel and Gretel!). The thought of fresh mountain air, lots of beer and sausages sustained us on the 7-hour train ride.
The amazing glass structure of
Berlin Hauptbahnof, the very nice ICE train and sceneries of unidentified yellow flowers.
The very wooden and small 8-bed hostel room. A fire hazard.
Love the gigantic lockers which can fit my gigantic backpack.
The Neo-Gothic
Neues Rathaus (New Town Hall). Very elaborately decorated with statutes, gargoyles, saints. All hideous-looking!
The
Glockenspiel (clocktower).
I was mesmerized by the never ending chimes and the rotating figures of knights fighting and people dancing.
A street.
Standing on
Marienplatz - the main square - and pointing at the
Altes Rathaus (Old Town Hall).
The near and far of
Frauenkirche - one of Germany's largest Gothic structure. Love the domes!
Inside the cavernous chapel.
Chilling out (literally).
We preferred lazing around to visiting museums. Germany wins hands down for their parks and open spaces.
Hofbrauhaus! The largest, most famous and supposedly over-touristy beer hall. What the heck, I enjoy visiting touristy places.
Knuckles, pork and veal sausages!
Beginning.
Middle.
End.
Tipsy.
The
Residenz - home to the Bavarian kings.
Imitation is the best form of flattery!
Palace garden.
Flowers in bloom.
Spotted a May Day pole made from a growing tree!
Funf Hofe - massive shopping malls (designer shops) consisting of 5 ancient connected courtyards.
