Hello out there,
I have safely arrived 

I have just missed the Oktoberfest but my new host told me that Munich still has lots of thing to see. so watch out!

Let's go to the "Dult" - that was today's motto when we got out for a walk.

This is what I read on the website:
The Auer Dult is characteristic of Munich, the Bavarian capital. The history of the popular fair with its folkloric flair can be traced back to the Middle Ages. Nowadays the event is organized by the Munich Tourist Office.

Three times a year, the locals flock to the Mariahilfplatz, in the part of town called the "Au", which means "meadow" or "pasture": here they can walk around at leisure, shop for bargains, have a bite to eat and enjoy a good time. During the "Dult", the fairground, which spreads over 20,000 square meters, becomes an island in the heart of the city, alive with conversation and congeniality. Children young and old enjoy going on the bumper cars, the boat-like swings, the merry-go-round or the ferris wheel.

And if you like Punch and Judy, you must go see their Bavarian cousin, the famous " Kasperl von der AU". The Auer Dult is Europe's largest market for tableware and all kinds of pots and pans. New-fangled household products are proudly praised as "kitchen marvels". The junk dealers' wares conceal many a treasure, sometimes art and sometimes kitsch. Whether glass or porcelain, wax or wicker, cloth or leather, whether it's candy or an old-fashioned herbal remedy you're looking for: your heart's desire awaits you at the Dult. This is open-air shopping with a smile. And if you have children, be sure to go on "Kindertag", when you are able to get more for less.

Every morning we go for a  walk along the Isar river. It is nice and peaceful and also green - I would not have thought of having all of this green right in the city center.

I did some sight-seeing today. I saw the Marienplatz which is right in the city center and a tourist attraction.

We did some more sight-seeing today and visited the Hofbräuhaus (a really huge beerhouse) and the Orlando house.

the weather is exceptionally mild and sunny for November. So we enjoy our walks and stop in the city's rose garden along the Isar river and sit in the sun.

We even found some rose flowers/blooms still growing. Amazing for this time - it's November!

I went for a walk in Sendlinger Street and visited the Asam Church. It was built by a rich merchant as a private church. Inside the church and a balcony is a door to his former house so he could enter the church from is private rooms. It is really nice, especially if you like lots of gold and ornaments.

since the weekend the Christmas markets have started. I enjoyed strolling through the little alleys and watch all the glittering and stuff at Marienplatz.

After the short tour yesterday evening I took a stroll in day light to see all the beautiful Christmas things on the market.

For the weekend I traveled to Sulzbach-Rosenberg, a little town in the North-East of Bavaria. There is a nice old city center and a small park where I went for a walk.

Wish everybody back home a Merry Christmas!

I have a great time here, the Glühwein (mulled wine) tastes great 

During the past days the weather went cold and it snowed. Munich is covered in snow. Therefore I did not go for a long walk but rather did some window shopping in Maximilianstraße. Well, I would have liked to do real shopping but Maximilianstraße is the street where all the posh and expensive designers have their shops (Dior, Armani and such)  ... so, it was only window shopping.
I also saw the opera at one end of the Maximilianstraße.

I also walked around the king's residence. Do you see the little lions? They stand at the side of the gates and all their noses are shining. It is said that it will bring luck if you rub their noses. So that's why they are shiny. Of course I could not resist and rubbed as much as possible
