SFO to MUC, Munich, Germany
2019年12月8日, アメリカ ⋅ ⛅ 55 °F
🎶All my bags, well just one bag, are packed I’m ready to fly. 🎶 United lounge doesn’t accept guest pass so I’m spending my time sitting on my butt at the bar at the gate. A so-called Bavarian Pretzel is one way to start a trip to Bavaria. Then an 11 hour flight. I got a Blanket from Gravel which doubles as a pillow, a picnic blanket and a poncho a ton of movies all at the ready. Jet lag here I come!
First stop Munich, Germany.もっと詳しく

Munich Flughafen
2019年12月9日, ドイツ ⋅ ☁️ 41 °F
First train of the trip. Airport to downtown. Or Flughafen to München Hbf on the S8 S-bahn.

I think the car sign is for the Sixt rental car company. I should’ve looked in to trying that one.

My first dinner will be in the restaurant of my hotel. A five star hotel that is centrally located in Munich. Arrived easily, at check in I got a room upgrade and a 100 hotel credit. Used my Amex points to get the room and the other things for free. What a great way to start the trip.

Dinner

Rye bread
Pickled gherkins
Roasted chestnuts
Focaccia
Beet hummus
Hawaiian black salt
Smoked ham from Italy

Munich River Surfing

Man made stream in the English Garden. I am told in winter this is the “beginner” run. In summer there are 20 people on both sides taking turns jumping in. Did I mention it’s 38f/3c today

Altess Schloss
2019年12月11日, ドイツ ⋅ ☁️ 37 °F
This castle, more like a very stately manor home and garden, was the home of Maximilian. At one time the King of the Holy Roman Empire. The most beautiful palace. I visited late in the day and was the only person there. The visitor guide said the building is very cold in the winter so few people visit. I was so happy to have taken the time to get here. 2 busses U-bahn 295, and the S1, then the 295 and the u-4.もっと詳しく

9:27-11:20. Goodbye Munich. First train ride towards Rothenburg ob der tabor. I’m working on reading the EURail Ap and figuring out which train to take. I gave myself 30 minutes and needed almost all of it.もっと詳しく

旅行者Train looks empty. So far I've not seen any people in your photos. How have the crowds been?
2019/12/12返信する
旅行者I agree. From the train window I don’t see people in their gardens or walking around. Not sure if that is because it’s cold, or they are at work. The train I shot that on is a distance train, the local trains are busier with workers and shoppers.

旅行者Are you standing at the train platform? What is that glass pyramid in the foreground? Skylight or trash can?

旅行者That was from the train window. The pyramid is a skylight. To get from platform to platform you cross under. That is for the walkway below.

旅行者On a walkway on a lighthouse it goes the other direction. The point hangs into the room and you walk on the flat side.

Rothenburg ob der tabor
2019年12月12日, ドイツ ⋅ ☁️ 36 °F
A walled city. Easy walking around but chilly. It snowed last night here but it’s all melted.

The house has a grain loft. In a walled city, it was important that every home had a stock of enough grain to feed itself for a year. If the invaders blocked off all supplies the town wouldn't starve. These types of lofts are all around the city.もっと詳しく
翻訳をご覧ください
旅行者So . . . I guess that the door and hoist at the roof is the grain loft you talked about? Keep it high so it can't be stollen? What do they do with the spaces now days?
2019/12/12返信する
旅行者High to keep it dry also. And people don’t live in the attic so much. I haven’t done the town tour, that’s tomorrow, so I will ask.

Schneeballen und Kaffee
2019年12月12日, ドイツ ⋅ ☁️ 36 °F
These schneeballen (snowballs) are famous in winter here in Rothenburg. This one is covered in powdered sugar. Not sweet on the inside. Actually I’m grateful for the coffee as it is also a little dry. Comes also chocolate covered and cinnamon. And various nuts. The ball is made up of pie crust wrapped up and then fried.もっと詳しく

旅行者How is are you doing on keeping warm? Have you needed to buy any clothes?

旅行者I bought an ear warmer that just goes around my head. Not needed anything else. Tonight I’m going to a special dinner and will walk. I will add my heavier coat. I’ve been fine with just my puffy so far. I suspect it will snow tonight.

New Friends
2019年12月12日, ドイツ ⋅ 🌙 32 °F
At the dinner last night I was randomly seated with two couples. One from near Augsburg and the other from Stuttgart. The latter was recently on the Stuttgart City Council and the former are my new friends Manfred and Ute Schmidt. The meal and music were great and very “modern” with foams and cold soups. Today I met up with Ute and Manfred and toured the winter market and a church. They really made me feel welcome. It was nice to “see” sights with someone else.もっと詳しく

Vegetables?
2019年12月13日, ドイツ ⋅ ☁️ 36 °F
I have no idea on the German food front, where the vegetables went? I haven’t seen a green veg in days. Come to think of it there is no salt and pepper and ketchup comes only in little packets. However on the other hand they are very concerned about my food allergies and they charge my 1 euro for every glass of tap water.

End result. I’m thirsty and might be getting scurvy.もっと詳しく

旅行者I heard there is enough vitamin C in catchup to prevent scurvy, also just ask for a lemon in your G&T.....

旅行者G&T isn’t a good idea. I tried it and it was 10 euros for the gin and 10 euro for the tonic. Haufbrau is 5.50. I went with the beer next time.

Augsburg, Living Advent Calendar
2019年12月14日, ドイツ ⋅ 🌬 41 °F
I came here specifically to see this. The angels are standing in the windows of city hall. They all had a very matching cherub look. It was certainly German in feeling. The crowd watching the windows was large, but after the music finished, the groups went back to their gluhwein. Which is a mulled red wine and very cozy.

Now dinner at the Ratskeller which is the bar and restaurant below City Hall. I wouldn’t mind working at a city hall if it had its own bar.もっと詳しく
