Adele in Munich

After my sister had the brilliant idea to gift my Dad tickets for the Adele concert in Munich to his birthday, we planned a little trip to Southern Germany around it. Read more

  • Spending Money on the Way to Ingolstadt

    August 23, 2024 in Germany ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

    Today I woke up at my parents house to a very lovely "Kids! Wake up!" shout from downstairs. It got better when I got a pillow thrown in my face by my sister. I love travelling with my family...
    Downstairs, the stress my mother felt was tangible. She was behaving as if we'd travel for 4 weeks and not only 4 days. Well, I ate breakfast and tried to block out the questions and commands for at least 10min. After making myself ready, I packed the car and honestly, it was way too full for the length of the trip. But hey, we're ready for all eventualities.
    Avoiding a breakdown from my mom just by millimeters, we finally took off, driving south. We stopped for my sandals at home real quick and drove on to the highway afterwards. Construction site after construction site, we conquered the kilometers. We made a stop at the Puma outlet store in Kirchheim, spent some money and drove on. Because we all can't get enough of spending money, we decided to visit the Ingolstadt Village today, which is a huge Outlet Center with lots of different brands. I can't remember when I was trying on so many different kinds of trousers last time. But at least I got new sweat pants, sports trousers and some very nice Levi's in the end. But my wallet was much lighter afterwards.
    Finally, we were all done and tired of spending money, so we drove to our hotel, checked in and had a very nice dinner. Then we tried out the pool of the hotel, to tire out our bodies as well. Now, it really is time to sleep.

  • Blossoms at the Botanical Garden

    August 24, 2024 in Germany ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

    The day started with an alarm clock screaming in my ear which felt like a fist directly into my face. My mood went to Minus 100 immediately. The next thing I recognised was my sisters face, which didn't bring up my mood at all. I'd much rather would have liked the fluffy little butt of Aluna in my face.
    But gotta work with whatever life brings you.
    We met for a nice, long breakfast with my parents and had just a couple of arguments instead of a dozen. Improvement.
    We were done around 10am and wanted to get going at 11am. We actually left the hotel around 12pm. Yeah. And we only had one huge fight about wasting our time! Amazing.
    After a quick one hour drive, we found a parking lot very easily and headed toward the Botanical Garden.
    There we found lots and lots of interesting flowers and plants from around the world. I would have loved to learn more about the specifics of each one of them, but I'm not a botanist and we didn't have a guide unfortunately. Maybe next time.
    As we still had time before the Adele concert, but my family didn't want to move anymore, I made my own way to see the Schlosspark of Nymphenburg next door.

  • Singing with Adele and 80.000 others

    August 24, 2024 in Germany ⋅ 🌙 24 °C

    We arrived at the concert and were baffled by the good organisation of the whole thing. Luckily, we've bought the parking ticket in advance and therefore hadn't have any issues with parking. Then, we joined the hundreds and hundreds of people on the 30min walk from the parking lot to the Adele World. When we arrived, itRead more

  • Attention Car-Enthusiasts - MotorWorld

    August 25, 2024 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

    After sleeping away half the day, we finally got in the car and drove back to Munich. There, we visited the MotorWorld which is a place for car enthusiasts to see and experience loads of nice, fancy cars. It's for free, as all the cars on display are from individuals or motorsport clubs or whatever that want to show off their cars. In return, they get a safe and dry place for their babies. And maybe they get something out of people wanting to look at their cars, too. It was pretty cool, especially because I could watch F1 for free there. If I'd live near Munich, I'd make it my Sunday ritual to go there whenever F1 is on. But there were also so many details like the bathrooms or the decorations that were just screaming "CARS", lovely.Read more

  • Ingolstadt and AUDI museum mobile

    August 26, 2024 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

    Today we had a quiet breakfast before checking out. Afterwards, we went into Downtown Ingolstadt where I spent some more money on new clothes but otherwise, it wasn't a very interesting city.
    We quickly went back to the Maritim hotel to get the car and drive to the Audi Forum. There, we looked at the history of Audi in the museum mobile and the current exhibition about aerodynamics. It was quite interesting but a little cunfusing because of the structure of the museum.
    After a little lunch, we made our way back home.
