      Besuch in München

      May 17, 2022 in Germany ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

      26 Kilometer zu Fuss durch die Stadt. Es hätte eigentlich etwas Erholung von den letzttägigen Strapazen sein sollen - aber gut. :)

      Italian Bar

      May 30, 2023 in Germany ⋅ 🌙 17 °C

      In the evening, we swapped out pork knuckle and beer for Aperol Spritz and pasta in a little Italian Bar, in the back streets of Munich. It was such a great little find and we returned for a breakfast of pistachio croissant and Prosecco.Read more

      Schliersee: alpine meadows and a lake, w

      May 7 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

      We arrived at the Műnchner Banhof (main railway station) this morning in plenty of time for our 0904 departure to Schliersee, a pretty little country holiday destination 50km south of Munich. Platform 33, our tickets said. Yes, there was a train at 33, but to the wrong destination. After much too-ing and fro-ing, we were told there were three trains stacked on platform 33, ours was the one at the very far end (see photo) and it was leaving in three minutes! Dashing Des put on a commendable turn of speed, and we made it with 30 seconds to spare!
      German trains are clean, wide gauge, absolutely steady with no gdunk gdunk because the rails are laid in a continuous roll. A pleasure to travel in.
      Some 52 minutes later we arrived at this charming spot. The village at the north end of the lake is full of traditional Alpine houses straight out of Heidi. It is a boating destination in the summer, with alpine sports in the winter. Health spa getaways are very popular in Germany ( we passed several).
      We followed the sealed pathway that runs 7km around the lake. Grandma seats at regular intervals!
      We lunched at La Trattoria Vecchia in the little village at the south end of the lake. A traditional country inn, Italian themed this time, with Italian radio on the sound system. A yummy pizza and very generous glasses of Weissbier (happy Neil).
      Highlights: tranquil lake, steep meadows with brown and white cows wearing broad collars with cowbells. As you walk you are surrounded by their gentle tinkle-tonk (see photo- I have a video to play at home). A pleasant break from the hustle and bustle of the city.

    • Day 9

      Full day in Munich

      August 3, 2022 in Germany ⋅ 🌙 20 °C

      Hoy visitamos un museo impresionante!!! Deustches Museum.
      Pasamos casi toda la tarde ahí, luego recorrimos el casco antiguo, conocimos unos edificios hermosos!
      Nos costó bastante llegar con la Motorhome a estos lugares, es complicado estacionar, no hay mucho lugar pero resolvimos dejándola más alejada y usamos transporte público. Ademas compramos un cochecito a 10 euros para Facundinho.
      Mañana temprano nos vamos a visitar un castillo y ya nos vamos para Austria! Besos 😘

      Parenthèse de la parenthèse (Munich)

      April 26 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

      [Raconté par Nils]

      Après un départ aux aurores afin de rejoindre notre dernière destination sans y passer la journée, nous posons donc bagage vers 16h à Munich, capitale de la Bavière.

      La chambre que l'on occupera est assez éloignée du centre-ville, c'est pourquoi nous décidons de profiter d'une terrasse et d'un goûter avant de penser à rejoindre notre hôte.

      Nous sommes super bien accueillis par une dame charmante, qui nous propose une chambre confortable and some home-made cupcakes ! Un cadre idyllique pour anticiper sur la journée suivante. Car en une journée il s'agit d'être stratégique et efficace. Nous passerons donc la fin de matinée du lendemain en centre ville, visitant les monuments phares de la ville et des lieux de cultes flamboyants.

      Nous avions repéré un parc un peu plus loin et l'idée était de s'y rendre pour profiter du soleil de l'après-midi et se reposer. Ce parc, au nord de la ville, s'est rapidement révélé comme étant LE point de rendez-vous de tout kiffeur présent dans la métropole. Volley, surf, bière-pong, pique-nique, cet espace immense était envahi par les locaux et touristes venus profiter de ce samedi ensoleillé.

      Faisant également partie de notre plan initial, nous sommes allés prendre le goûter (à savoir frites/bière) dans le biergarten le plus grand qu'on ait jamais vu. Très impressionnant mais un peu trop oppressant, le reste du parc était plus calme.

      De retour chez notre hôte, quelques nouilles instantanées plus tard, nous voilà endormis pour la dernière nuit de ces vacances.

      Départ 9h30 pour Zoé direction Budapest !
      Mon aventure s'arrête ici, je rentre à Grenoble.

      Continuez de suivre ses aventures et à bientôt !

      BMW Welt

      January 9, 2020 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C

      Had come across quite a few recommendations that the BMW Welt was worth a visit. It's not a museum but essentially a very over-the-top car showroom that anyone is able to wander about and ogle the latest from BMW, Mini, and Rolls Royce.

      There's interactive exhibits, cafes, a fancy restaurant, merch shop, and then some people actually there to buy and pick up their new cars. Being attached to the old Olympic park it was well worth the trip out of town for a look around (assuming you have a daily ticket for transport and don't have to cop the crazy prices for a metro ride).

    • Day 110

      Boring Travel day

      July 9, 2022 in Germany ⋅ ⛅ 66 °F

      Miles: 4.7 Steps: 10999
      Flights stairs: 10

      It was a boring travel day for the most part. We flew from Manchester, England to Munich, Germany this morning. It was very uneventful. We almost had too much time. We got there way early, made it thru security, took our own sweet time having a great breakfast … and then realized our plane was on its final call and RAN thru the airport to be the last one let on. Lost track of time. Woops. But we made it.

      We’re getting VERY good at handling all the mass transit in every city. I think back to the first few weeks and it’s a night and day difference. So much easier now that we’ve got so much experience.

      After dinner headed to the movies and saw “Thor, Love and Thunder” - it’s a must to see every Marvel movie as it’s coming out when traveling with the massive Marvel geek that Jordan is. It’s still a treat to see the different theaters in each country - and just experience “life” here.

      We’re back in hostels for awhile - it’s the norm in most of Europe. The next two nights we’re in a really nice one tho. Brand new. Bunks with privacy screens, small lockers, lights, charging ports and personal fans right in the bunk areas. Such an experience living like this. I’m sure I’m the oldest person in this whole building tho!!

      Deutsches Museum

      June 26, 2022 in Germany ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

      Into Munich itself today and our first stop was the Deutsches museum. Think the science museum in London but 5X larger. They'd even built replica mine shafts under the museum which you could walk through.Read more

    • Day 49

      One perfect Prizza and life is changed

      July 8, 2023 in Germany ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C

      Today we woke up and walked to a cafe for breakfast. It was really cute and nice to start our day with some good food. We then packed up our apartment and walked to the shopping district. We first went to the fancy shops to window shop, but there is a lovely stretch of water and trees. We then hit the regular people shops and Erin stopped to grab a few things.
      We then jumped on the light rail and headed to a street known for its graffiti art. The light rail was packed and was a gazillion degrees. The street was beautiful and the art was varied. People are so talented, it blows my mind.
      Next we headed back and grabbed some lunch and a beer, watched some more basketball then headed to the main train station. In a moment of panic, I was unsure I'd booked the right train but we got on and all was good. The train was over 5 hours to Munich but it gave us some time to listen to Speak Now Taylor's version and catch up on some F1 races. I also had some puzzle book time. It was a squishy journey and the train was so packed. We arrived in Munich and jumped on another train to get to the hotel. After a walk we arrived!
      We headed to the restaurant in the hotel for dinner and I got a Brizza... Not knowing what it was. It turned out to be a pretzel based pizza. Honestly it felt like a spiritual moment, it was so delicious and different. I was truly happy. I don't know if I can ever try one again, as it was so perfect.
      It was a long travel day but with lots of fun moments in between!

      Oktoberfest 🥨

      September 21, 2023 in Germany ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

      Well the tent sleeping next to a party on a campground filled with a hundred people went about as well as you'd expect. We pulled ourselves out of bed and enjoyed the included breakfast and got ready to partake in a full day of Oktoberfest festivities.

      We arrived and went straight to a beer tent and enjoyed some lunch. Phill got a Ochsenfertzensemmel (Pulled Ox sandwich) and Bec got a taster platter. After this we explored the very large grounds again before settling into another tent where we met some nice Germans, Italians and questionable Americans that kept trying to get us to sing with them.

      The day progressed and a few more tents were visited and friends made. We ended the adventure with Phill getting his Wiener schnitzel and Bec getting her Apple strudel before making our way back to the campgrounds.

      Seeya in Athens!
