      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!      Read more

      LEBENSZEICHEN 😵‍💫

      July 17, 2022 in Germany ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

      Nach langer Funkstille endlich mal wieder ein Lebenszeichen🫀💥
      Meine letzten 5 Monate nach meinem letzten Post habe ich so einiges erlebt, wo soll ich da nur anfangen!? Ich versuche mich auf die Highlights zu fokussieren 🤪 Nachdem Laura nach einer Woche Verlängerung uns wieder verlassen hatte 🥲 ging es nicht mehr lange und neuer Besuch stand vor der Tür.
      Mein über alles geliebter Steve aka Lizzy mit Maurice und Völler im Schlepptau hatten sich dafür entschieden mit mir 2 Wochen Mexiko zu erkunden. Unsere Route war folgende: ein paar Tage México City, Cancun, Tulum, Bacalar, Holbox 🌴 wir hatten wunderbare Tage gemeinsam und mein absoluter Favorit ist und bleibt Holbox, wow selten sowas schönes gesehen! Zum Abschluss gabs noch ne Runde Xochimilco und am Abreisetag vom Holländer und Co, war die Stimmung eher mäßig gut. Aber nicht lange und der nächste Besuch aus der Heimat hat sich angekündigt, Maike und Julian waren im Anflug 😍
      Auch mit Ihnen hatten wir tolle und unbeschreiblich witzige Tage in Mex City 🥳 ich würde sagen der Activity Abend war unschlagbar. Die Arbeit an der Schule macht mir weiterhin sehr viel Spaß und nach Parasiten im Bauch und ner Runde Covid bin ich auch wieder vollstens hergestellt um jetzt nen mega Sommer in Deutschland mit Family und Friends zu erleben 💃🏼☀️ ich werde meinen Aufenthalt in Mexiko verlängern und Ende August wieder zurückfliegen.

      Eine letzte lustige Story zum Schluß: Freitag nach meinem letzten Arbeitstag, nahm ich mir ein Uber zurück von der Schule, das Kennzeichen war NPG-516 ein blauer Nissan. Ok, Nachricht erhalten mein Uber steht bereit, ich einen blauen Nissan mit NPG Nummernschild gesehen und hinten eingestiegen bis die Fahrerin mich völlig aufgelöst anschaut und mir sagt sie sei kein Uber sie wartet nur auf ihr Kind 😵‍💫 ich mit hochrotem Kopf ganz elegant Bein für Bein wieder aus dem Auto ausgestiegen und mich 1000 Mal entschuldigt haha. Es hat fast alles gepasst blauer Nissan, NPG aber leider war die Nummer nicht 516 sondern 615 🥹 nunja ich hab dann noch das richtige erwischt und die Frau wahrscheinlich zu Tode erschreckt 😂

      Mit 10 Kg Übergewicht - auch im Koffer geht’s jetzt zurück nach DE ☀️
      Noch 6h vor mir bis zur Ankunft in Frankfurt 🙏
      Keep you posted

      Christmas Markets

      November 27, 2023 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 2 °C

      The Munich Christmas Markets opened today, so we decided to wander around and check things out.

      It was a nice day, but a little on the chilly side. So we had to make sure we kept ourselves topped up with the medicinal Glühwein.

      The markets were lovely, but being opening night it was absolute chockers. So we went and had another Glühwein... 😁      Read more

      Reflections on Munich

      Yesterday in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

      I've visited Munich at a bit of a strange time - the combination of the football game against Real Madrid followed by the May Day holiday has meant that the city has been absolutely inundated with people for the duration of my stay here. Combined with what seems like neverending building works and road maintenance going on all over the city, including a huge construction site by the Hauptbahnhof, the city has felt overwhelmingly busy and very noisy - much more so than Zurich.

      That isn't to say that I haven't enjoyed my time here - I really enjoyed the walking tour yesterday and the many Bavarian beer gardens dotted around the city have been well worth experiencing - but I think my favourite moments have been early in the morning, before Munich has had a chance to wake up. These have included exploring the Altstadt yesterday, climbing up Peterkirche's tower, and strolling through the enormous Englischer Garten today.

      These moments have left me with a great appreciation for Munich's grandiosity, both in terms of its proud architecture harkening back to the days of the Electorate and then Kingdom of Bavaria, and in terms of the enormous swathe of land comprised of open meadows, huge lakes, clean rivers and gentle woodland preserved for public enjoyment and relaxation.

      Within Germany, postwar construction has been approached in many different ways. The philosophy of Berlin's reconstruction was to eradicate the past and rebuild from a clean slate. Munich's approach has been more nuanced, seeking to preserve what it can be proud of, erasing the physical manifestations of what it is ashamed of but trying to provide an honest education of both to its population and visitors alike. While I've yet to visit Berlin and other German cities that have taken the former approach, I feel the latter is more my style.      Read more

      Oktoberfest!

      October 2, 2022 in Germany ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C

      Woohoo! So this is the last weekend of Oktoberfest, snuck in just in time :) We popped in to check it out and it was wild! There were 21 tents and EACH tent held thousands!!! 😱😱 So cool!!! And SO. MUCH. BEER. I also didn't realize it would also be like a carnival with games and rides which Famke loved!

      All the girls wear a very typical dress that has an apron on the skirt and a blouse on the top (most were quite...focused towards the chest if you know what I mean). The guys wore leather shorts with socks and a collared shirt typically.      Read more

      Munich

      September 23, 2023 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

      We awoke after our first night in the tent. It was quite cramped and difficult to get comfortable but we managed to find some positions that worked to get some sleep!

      We went into Munich city centre to meet our friend Amy, who we had met on our Turkey tour a few weeks ago. She had quit her job back in Australia, was travelling for a bit and is now au pairing in Bologna, Italy. She was already planning on going to Oktoberfest this weekend and so it worked out really well!

      We then walked into the festival and it was incredible! Lots of music, people, food carts and surprisingly a lot of rides. The middle Saturday of the festival (which was today) is known as the busiest day of the entire two week festival and this was definitely evident even when we walked in at 11am! It is also Italian weekend!

      We walked for a bit through the streets, taking in the sights before attempting to get a table at the Paulaner tent. This was unsuccessful but even just walking through the beer tent was amazing, so many people and lots of music!

      We then went next door to the Spaten tent where we did manage to get a seat and had our first steins of the day! 🍻 We danced on the benches to all the music (which included songs in English such as "Take Me Home, Vountry Road" and ABBA classics!) We had a fantastic time!

      After Spaten, we got a pretzel (as you do!) and walked to the Hacker-Pschorr tent. This is one of the lesser known ‘big beer tents’ in Australia but it took us a bit longer to get in as it was getting very busy throughout the festival. We managed to get a seat in the outdoor beer garden and enjoyed our second steins of the day.

      After this we went for a snack of kaiserchmarren which is a delicious smashed pancake and apple sauce dish! We then struggled to get into a tent as it was after 5pm and most were closed/already too full. After a few attempts and huge queues we decided to leave the Oktoberfest festival and headed into Munich old town.

      It was really pretty walking around the old town and we managed to get a seat in the oldest original beer house in Munich, Hofbrauhaus. We then got our third steins of the day (with Daniel trying a dark one!) and some delicious pork, sausage and macaroni which we shared for dinner. There was a great vibe and atmosphere in Hofbrauhaus with a band playing and everyone singing and celebrating!

      We then said goodbye to Amy (not knowing if we would see her again) and went back to the campsite to sleep after a very busy day!      Read more

      Munich - Daniel's birthday

      September 26, 2023 in Germany ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

      Our last full day in Europe and it was Daniel’s birthday so what better way to spend it than at Oktoberfest!!

      We had a couple of mimosas at the campsite to get us going and got to the festival before it had even opened. We went straight to the Augustiner tent to taste our first beer of the day by 10.30am. Augustiner is the locals' favourite beer and is served out of an oak barrel. After we finished our beers, we went for a walk to the more well known Hofbrau tent where we enjoyed our second round for the day as well as a delicious Schweinehaxen - the famous Bavarian pork knuckle! We were sitting next to some Americans who had just done the Berlin marathon and had some good chats.

      We then had a pretzel on the way to the Paulaner tent, where we shared a beer - the tents were definitely starting to get busier now! We then went to our fourth and final tent where we spent the next four hours - Lowenbrau. It was so busy but we managed to get a seat next to some older German couples and had some great fun attempting to communicate! The band started playing and we got up on the tables and danced the night away. After Daniel had finished his 5th stein of the day we decided to bid farewell to Oktoberfest, but not before grabbing an oxe burger and bratswurst on the way out!

      We made our way back to the campsite to spend the last night in the tent!      Read more

      We are in Munich!

      January 19, 2020 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 0 °C

      We arrived in Munich, found the meeting place for the Pilotski! As it turns out we recognize more people than we expected. A large contingent from Montreal base. Quite a few retired pilots.

      The bus ride was uneventful and took about 3.5 hours. The Sport Hotel Royer was ready for us. keys, scarves, and info was handed out in a timely fashion. We got our gear rented and checked out the town while connecting with some people I haven’t seen for years. One fellow, Jim Egglestone was on my initial course with Air Canada over forty years ago. He and his wife Denise are here. Denise was a dispatcher for A/C almost as long. It has been good to see them.

      There are about 250 skiers attending Pilotski 2020. Almost half are from Canada. The rest are from continental Europe with some Scots and two token Australians. So far we are getting along but somehow I think that as the week progresses and people drink more, we could find some entertaining differences of opinion. We’ll see.      Read more

      Out and about in the old city of Munchen

      September 16, 2019 in Germany ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

      Today we had a bit of a sleep in before heading off for Marienplatz to see the Glockenspiel come to life at 11am. It is a very impressive display of mechanical prowess, and was added to the new town hall in 1907. It has two levels of action that come to life one after the other, the top section that recounts a royal wedding and a jousting tournament, and a bottom section that shows a dance that the local coopers did to celebrate the end of the plague. in the jousting tournament, the Bavarian knight knocks the French knight off his horse on the second pass.

      After watching the performance we wandered around the old city looking for the open area Victualienmarkt, which was very interesting with a great range of fresh produce on display. We bought some apples, peche plate (peaches), tomatoes and a baguette. We plan to eat in tonight.

      I also bought a couple of Christmas decorations that are very Bavarian from a shop close to the market. I forgot to look for ornaments in London, but might look for some on our way back. We stopped for a coffee and an Apfelschnecke for morning tea, and then went in search of Maximilian Straße, which is a street full of designer stores, which are outside of our budget but nonetheless it was nice to window shop.

      As we walked back towards our place we wanted to have a close look at Frauenkirche - the tallest church in Munich - it’s twin towers stand at 99 metres. On the way, we wandered through the Munchen Rathaus (Town Hall), and we stopped in a lovely quiet square inside the building for a late lunch at Ratskeller München, where I tried Bratwurst with onions and potatoes, and Ian tried the Schnapsbratwurst, which was small spicy sausages served in between two potato pancakes, mashed potatoes and cabbage, and of course he coupled it with a local beer.

      After lunch, we made it to Frauenkirche, but you can’t climb the tower at the moment as repair work is underway. We stopped to get some delicious deli items to have for dinner this evening, as I am a bit tired and it is nice to eat in once in a while.

      We still managed to clock up about 8kms of walking today, which isn't too shabby. Museums are all closed on a Monday in Munich, so we didn’t get the opportunity to visit any of them.

      Tonight we will start packing in preparation for heading off for Brussels tomorrow.      Read more
