Munich 2022

7/13/2022

26 Comments

 
It’s been a few weeks since I returned from Europe. Over five weeks, I visited five countries by train travel through Europe. There were some challenging moments, but overall I enjoyed this trip immensely. I was so fortunate to be able to do this. This is my first post of my trip , there are more to follow. 
Munich
It took quite a bit of planning to put it all together, but I did it with some help from my niece and her husband. After making all the reservations, I packed light because I had to carry everything on and off trains, not relying on anyone to help me. Although, I did get a lot of help and met some interesting people.
Munich
I arrived In Munich in the early evening and checked into my hotel after a 100-Euro taxi ride from the airport—even though there is a train to downtown that is much cheaper.  Munich is a wonderful city, for my first meal I treated myself to a beer and herring with cream sauce and fried potatoes—one of my standard meals when I arrive in Germany. It was a warm spring night and I was in heaven sitting outside enjoying my meal.

Thanks to jet lag, I was up early the next morning, exploring the town and visiting my favorite places. One of them is Dalmeyr an iconic store for food lovers. I bought some pastries for a late night snack.

Later in the afternoon, I picked up my friend from the train station. Her train had been delayed by three hours, as the German train system is not what it used to be.

In the evening , after walking around in Munich we had a typical Bavarian meal outside, surrounded by historic buildings in the center of town. We had fun, enjoying each other over some good beer and food.

The following day, we explored the English Garden on a warm sunny day. I missed it the last time I was in Munich (read here about my previous trip). Did you know that the English Garden is one of the largest inner-city parks in the world? It is larger than Central Park in New York. It has 78 kilometers of paths, which is why we rented a bike taxi.
Our driver dropped us off at the beer garden where we had a large beer and some Bavarian Krustenbraten, a pork roast where the skin is made into a crispy crust. I’s delicious, but rich. Keep the anti-acid tablets handy.

Before we knew it , our two days in Munich were over and we packed our bags for   our next destination Lake Garda .

Sherry, I put on a few pounds even though I was walking a lot. My problem is that I love food too much.

Gerlinde, this is the first time I've ever seen a gallery of small pictures to click on below a photo in a blog! Love it. Thanks for me taking us along on your vacation. I'm not willing to put up with all the hassles of travel at this time, so I will enjoy your wonderful five-country adventure vicariously!

Jean, traveling is not what it used to be. My blog comes from a Weebly design which was taken over by Square. The Gallery of photos was suppose to be as slide show.

Your two day trip sounds delightful, these days I think antacid tablets are a good thing to have on hand when travelling and sampling lots of delicious food, ha, ha.

Pauline, I get carried away when it comes to food and that's when I need the anti acid tablets.

Those pastries at Dallmeyer’s are exquisite works of art! I love the Englisher Garten and thinking of all those outdoors today enjoying a beer in a beautiful setting just as you did. Lucky!

I've been to Munich many times, and I've always taken the train from the airport. I guess i'm glad I did! 100 Euros, wow! Anyway, it looks like we have very similar tastes in restaurants. I love Munich.

Jeff, five or 10 years ago I would not have considered taking a taxi but now that I am in my 70s I need that luxury to continue traveling.
