Travelog for: Nippy

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 

Opposite the residence is the Theatiner church, it is very nice inside.
And there is also the Feldherrnhalle (hall of military leaders/commanders).

Yippiiee! I fulfilled another one of my life missions. It snowed so much that I could enjoy playing in snow! I asked my host to take a photo of me sitting in snow as proof 

I went for a walk in Englischer Garten (English Garden). On the way I passed the Hofgarten (garden next to the king's residence). Today it is open for everyone, there is a coffee shop there (nice to drink coffee in the sun in summer time), some shops, people go for walks or play boccia.

Today I passed by the Königsplatz (King's square) where several of Munich's museums are located. As it was snowing I did not stay too long.

Winter came back and it snowed during the past days. I accompanied my host and her dog on the early morning walk along the Isar river.
