Day 11 in Germany - Munich

 

睡到自然醒 then simple breakfast @ S$16.50... 在 Germany 就是的吃 pretzel hor?!?!?! 



spent S$50 on sweets & choc for friends which eventually, half ended up in my own tummy... wahahaha.... 



we bought the 3 days of daily transport tickets at S$52.80 per pax each to avoid the hassle of having to find the ticket machine on every ride... 








2 hufflepuffers walked by our 'school' @ Theatine Church of St. Cajetan!!! heee 











afternoon stroll in Englischer Garten






who cares ?!?!? 😅😅😅 


man-made natural lazy pool... i like !!!


my favourite kind of walk in the park... tall tall trees that provide shades


a beer garden around a Chinese Tower in the English Garden....


our daily indulgence at only S$2.85 per scoop!!!


Monopteros.... this is a temple!!!... so interesting... 




Memorial for the Victims of Nazi Tyranny 


busking with a grand piano seh!!!!









Dinner (S$108.30) at Augustiner Klosterwirt (Munich's oldest brewery), famous for its beer & Schweinshaxe (pork knuckle); 皮 was super 脆脆 one... yummy!!! 
but didnt like the yellow spongy spongy ball ball which i initially thought was potato... 





back to the main square by 7pm to meet our guide for the Munich Ghosts & Spirits Evening Walking Tour; 2 hours of meh ghosts stories over 3 interesting alcoholic drinks each... 


hahahaha.... 



@ Hofbrauhaus... another famous brewery that was once the Nazi Party's headquarter 







Viscardigasse aka shirker's lane 



a memorial status meant to honour Orlando di Lasso, a composer of the late Renaissance, but was hijacked to be for MJ just because he once lived in the hotel that's opposite this statue... i think it's disrespectful... 😓😓😓




would it be more 毛骨悚然 if the sky was darker, if the story-teller was more dramatic with her narration ?!?!?

Day 10 in Germany - Between Rothenburg & Munich

 

coffee from the nearby convenient store to ensure that both of us stayed AWAKE during our drive out of Rothenburg...

still super intrigued by the crosses that are placed on road signs to signal that they are no longer valid... 


arrived @ our first pit stop in less than an hour > Dinkelsbühl

metal sculptures yoga-ing in the sun... already liking the vibe in this town... 


also a medieval town 😍😍😍

breakfast (S$41.65) @ Teetube Cafe 








a Mr & Mr marriage ceremony happening in St. George's Minister

St. Paul's Church



spotted the huge stork nests on top of the Altes Rathais (Old Town Hall) and atop the Wörnitz Gate Tower too!!!



back on the road for another 1.5hrs drive



排排驾 behind the tractor on a one lane road... 😅😅😅
no horning, no overtaking.... driving in Germany is really very graceful!!! 




reached our 2nd pit stop > Augsburg



looks yummiliously good !!!




vet's logo



$8 for 3 scoops !!! i think gelato is the only food that's cheaper in Germany than back home... 




Hotel Jakober - luv its curved corner and colour... 



St. Jakob Church






the chancellor's car?!?!? 





took us a couple of stressful miss-turns to finally drive out of Augsburg... and another 1+ hours drive + half an hour of walk walk 推推 luggage and we arrived in our hotel in Munich, the last room sweet room of our trip !!! 


there was a kitchenette in our room so we decided to have maggi noodles for dinner!!! 


sad walk back to our hotel empty handed > nearby supermarket was closed due to Corpus Christi holiday... the next nearest supermarket was at least a 20 minutes journey away... 😭😭😭

we were ready to have plain maggi noodles for dinner ... took our tired brain a while to realise that we could order food in... 😂😂😂



view from my bed @ 9.57pm....ZZzzzzzzzz
