Travelog for: Murph

Hello Everyone!
My name is Murph and I am a fun loving monster looking to travel all over the world! I love all sorts of things like lifting weights, visiting gyms, meeting bodybuilders and the guys in the strongman competitions. I am also fond of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Star Wars!

Here I am!

wow, finally arrived after some days stuffed in the envelope!

I can already say that lifting some weight is easier than sitting enclosed in limited space for days 

Aaah, some stretching and moving of my limbs and I'll be fine, ready to conquer Munich's gyms 

We went for a walk with Maggy (my host's dog) along the Isar river and also passed the German Museum (Nature and Science Museum).

Today I went for a short trip to the Viktualienmarkt (victuals market) and Marienplatz.

I wanted to do some more sight-seeing before leaving Munich so I went to the city center: Maximilian street (that's where the rich people shop), the opera and Theatiner Church.

Today we went to a small Xmas market which is set up in the court-yard of the formen Bavarian King's residence. After drinking a hot mulled wine we walked through the area of the king's residence (Feldherrnhalle, Hofgarten - garden attached to the building and back to Marienplatz). It was cold and the battery of the camera had problems - so unfortunately no photos with me.

We hugged Ninni good-bye, hope she will have great travel experiences.

Our host went to Nürnberg to show us some sights - Nürnberg is in the Northern part of Bavaria and hosts a famous Xmas market. But today we were only taking a stroll through the shopping area ... and saw a real horse postal carriage!

Today we visited the famous Nürnberger Christkindlmarkt (Nuremberg Xmas market). It is located in the middle of the city in the market place. There were masses of people and Maggy (our host's dog) was really scared. But the market is very nice.

Today we walked over the Christkindlmarket - look at all the glittering, bright things for Xmas! Beautiful!

In the evening we traveled to Sulzbach-Rosenberg, in the North-Eastern part of Bavaria, to be exact: the Oberpfalz. It was already dark when we arrived so there was not much to see.

With day-light the town looks much better than at night - this is the town center (much smaller than Nürnberg or München).

We went for an early morning walk with the dog. The sun was not yet fully out and in the dim light we crossed the brigdge alongside the German Museum and went down to the Isar river. When we arrived we saw that all was covered with ice.

We walked over the ice - very carefully because it is easy to slip and fall. On some areas the ice cracked when we crossed over.

Then we took a rest on a tree and in the Rosengarten, sitting on a bench in the morning sun
