Today we caught this train to Munich:
The trip was comfortable as we zipped along in first class, but about an hour out from Munich I got motion sickness which ended up lasting for hours!
Our hotel is adjacent to the station and very comfortable. KLS and I got an upgrade into a very fancy room with all wood floors and ceiling and strange wall decor:
We didn’t have any plans for the afternoon (the train took about 3 hours) and K, B and I explored the downtown while J went to the park and dad did a tourist bus trip.
That’s in a department store. Both B and I posed here, and young children had to wait their turn! 🙂
Munich has a large pedestrian arcade surrounded by many old-style buildings (the originals being destroyed in the war). The weather was hot and the crowds plentiful. One particular attraction is the Rathaus (town hall) with its beautiful architecture and decoration.
The front of the building has an animated display called ‘the glockenspiel’ that runs thrice daily. We were sure to check it out.
The crowds were massive…
And B was spellbound:
Or maybe he had just drunk too much for lunch!
Speaking of which…
Those pictures show decreasing levels of professionalism 🙂
To end this post, a shot of me rubbing Juliet’s (superheated!) boob for good luck:
And the striking interior of the Marianplatz underground station:
It was another full, tiring and fun day 🙂
