We finally land in Europe! First stop, the absolutely wonderful city of Munich. We take in the sights, smells and tastes of the old town – and, of course, the beer. 🙂
Also, riveting footage of one of the most famous tourist attractions in Munich!

What I want to know is…. how the fuck did they get a grand piano just out on the street like that?
We wondered the same thing! There were actually two full-sized pianos playing quite near to one another by different buskers. Amanda’s theory is that they are kept in a nearby shop or rented premises.
Such a pretty city! Especially from that clock/bell tower….I think I will have to make my way there when I’m in southern Germany in September 🙂 Maybe just in time for Oktoberfest!
The city is CRAZY during Oktoberfest, just something to be aware of! The population of Munich is around 1.4 million people, and during Oktoberfest that swells to an insane 7 million people (since, on average, 6 million people attend Oktoberfest). If you’ve never been, and you like beer and rowdiness, Oktoberfest is certainly something to tick off the to-do list – it was a heap of fun when I went. If you just want to experience Munich, it’d be better done at a different time. But definitely do experience it if you can – it’s one of the cities we both really want to go back to on this trip because it was just so wonderful!
It was just lovely, although it’s hard to say how much of its charm was that it was a reasonable temperature and the sun was shining. There’s certainly a lot to see there and we didn’t get to even half of it.
I like that you have a tag for beer.
Archer: “… Do you not?”
The amount of tasty beer to try has certainly been one of the trip’s highlights. 😉
