More around Munich
Jun. 28th, 2013 06:11 pmWent round the Stadtmuseum this morning, which was a bit disappointing. Mostly just pictures, and almost all the captions are just in German, and as I'd had to leave my bag (with my phrase book) in the cloak room, I could pick out only the odd word. Curiously, the bit with the most English translations was the section labelled "National Socialism in Munich". Presumably that's the bit all the UK visitors want to see.
Round the corner is the Viktualienmarkt, and there is a shop on the edge of that called My Muesli, and it seems to be just that.
A bit later, a family of American tourists saw me consulting my map and asked me if I knew where the Hofbräuhaus was. I knew this is claimed to be the oldest pub in Munich and I remembered seeing it last time I was here. Then I noticed a shop across the road called Wagner Lederhosen, and that name had stuck in my memory and I suddenly thought the the Hofbräuhaus was up the side street we were facing, and turn right. I don't know if they followed my advice, but I walked that way myself, and five minutes later I passed the place. Amusingly, it is now opposite a Hard Rock Cafe and a Starbucks.
The weather seems to have improved a bit. It is now warm and sunny.
