Having an icecream


My visit in Munich was blessed with the best and the warmest weather possible. Icecream cravings abound :)

Viktualienmarkt


Sven took a half day off and had lunch with me on my last day in Munich.

In front of Sven's favorite water fountain in Munich.

This fountain is called Wittelsbacherbrunnen and is located at the Lenbachplatz. Apparently, the fountain is named after an aristocrat "Wittelsbacher" who's name is often seen in Munich and Bavaria.

On Tuesday evening, my friend Sven took me on an evening walk through Munich after dinner, starting at the old downtown through the Hofgarten, the English garden and the western neighborhoods,

Lederhose and Dirndl

Somehow, to me, the word Dirndl sounds very Germanic, but also very very Bavarian.

This is the center point for everything in Munich. The cityhall.
