Munich – Day 1 & 2
I love Germany! So efficient, so easy and so beautiful.
Ok, to be completely honest this was about three days ago and it’s getting kind of fuzzy. So I arrived in Munich and got to my place which was just around the corner from the main train station, super easy to get to. After I got to my place the first night I went down to the main square in Munich called Marianplatz and saw the world famous Glockenspiel. By the way the Glockenspiel was rated the second most overrated tourist attraction in all of Europe after Prague’s Astronomical Clock. At least the Glockenspiel was a tad more entertaining. It’s basically a giant Coo-coo clock. The bells ring and it plays a tune, some guys dance around twice and then the jousters hit each other with the Bavarian always wining. Then some other guys dance around to ward off the plague. The spiel and the building it is in looks hundreds of years old, but amazingly it is only about 100 years old. And it survived all the bombing in WW2.
After touring the Marianplatz I walked around this huge outdoor market area with tons of fruits and other wares available for sale. My favorite being the beer (bier) and sausages. For about three dollars you could get a sausage in a little french roll that was soooo good. I always look for the longest lines in which the locals are in because those are usually the best places and the place I got my sausage from had a line about five minutes long…so worth it though!
So the next day I went to go to the Dachau tour however not many people showed up for it so they canceled it. I was bummed out but decided to take the “free” tour instead. The tours work on tips only so I usually only spend about 5 euros however the guide we got was a guy from SF, who went to Chico and knew more about history then anybody I have ever met. Matt was badass. He went all into the history of Munich, the association and buildup of the Nazi’s in the area and some really cool local stories and tales. I loved it. I gave him a 15 euro tip because he was just THAT good. Also he was going on the Dachau tour the next day so I decided to show up for that one as well.
So after the free tour I went back to my place and just chilled that night and ended up watching the Chelsea and Barcelona football match. What a good game but wtf was up with the officiating?! It was HORRIBLE. Anyways Barcelona had a lucky break and ended up tying the match allowing them to go to the finals. Poor Chelsea…
Here are some of the pics I took during my time in Munich…and a few funny pics too!
