Munich

hier wie sind... yes - we are in Germany - Munich and it is just lovely.  Lovely because its summer and green but its a beautiful old city with an enormous amount of history.  Yesterday was a special day and a lot of the public buildings were open and the museums were free entry.  We toured the New Townhall, which was still pretty old and were able to get into the ofices and the chambers not usually open.  There was a huge queue to go up the tower, so we left that for the Munichers.  One thing immediatly apparent about Old Munich is that they loved the Rococo style to the point of being ott really.  Not just the Town Hall, but the churches and public buildings are very decorated - even if some of the decorations are painted on!
 Naturlich we have been drinking beer and eating wurst und saurkraut, but not for breakfast as the two men next to us were this morning at 8.45 am!
Wwe have been surprised by the numbers of locals wearing traditional costumes - especially today on sunday.  Men in lederhose and women in dyrndal - young people too.  Actually its really nice.
