Munich munchin

My first day in Germany continued when we arrived back in Munich. What a beautiful city! I loved the buildings and atmosphere that Munich had. It has a very different feel from Italy, which was a fun change.

Because our morning started so unusually early, we were back in the city by noon which was great! We spent time sightseeing, and were frequently distracted by the bakeries the seemed to be on every corner. Each bakery we stepped into seemed to have even more amazing looking deliciousness than the one before.

Of course, appetites grow when you are constantly walking through bakeries. Stopping into a restaurant in the main square, we got our first taste of the German cuisine. The boys tried out the bratwurst and weinerschnitzel, while the girls stuck with a classic Pretzel. Stomachs satisfied we continued our tour of the city. We discovered a great market near the city center with all sorts of booths and shops. It was so fun to see all of the German collectives, fresh foods, cheeses and such. The city had a great relaxed vibe to it, and it made for a very enjoyable afternoon.
We ended our day in Munich with dinner at the Hofbrauhaus for some good Germanic beer. The place was huge! Im pretty sure there were more than 4 options for where you could eat. Finding ourselves upstairs in one of the more reserved and mellow dining areas, we decided to try again in the main hall downstairs. The atmosphere was so lively, even though we were eating at an awkward time, the large open room was almost full. It was a perfect german beerhouse experience.


After leaving Hofbrauhaus we stopped a few times while heading back to the train station. Three hours later we arrived in Heidelberg!
