River Surfing?
Yesterday was day 2 in Munich.
At a lot of the hotels they have these coffee machines at breakfast that you can make single cup macchiatos, cappuccinos, etc. I thought I'd mix up my morning routine and make a latte macchiato, so I grab a cup and press brew. Of course, it begins to over flow and when it stops dispensing I remove the cup quickly. Then shoots out the espresso, so in my hand I have a nice hot mug of hot milk. I walk away laughing and sit down to my big eyed family where I retell the story. Needless to say we enjoyed a good laugh (as if that isn't something that would normally happen to me).
We returned to Marienplatz for a bike tour of the city which was quite fun! Our guide John was an Aussie and had only been here for four months. For a rookie, he did pretty well. We got to see all the touristy sites and went inside some churches which were just beautiful! We went back to the English Garden and at lunch at the Chinese Tower. More sausage, more potatoes and more beer. It's beginning to get old! I tried the Hofbräu summer brew which was good but not my favorite. After lunch (a little giggly) dave and I bought some steins and returned to our bikes for the rest of the tour.
My favorite part was the river surfers in the English Garden. Um what?
it was just a tad more exciting than this...
After walking around and getting a little lost we came back to our hotel for our free snack and drink. It was nice to have a little chicken salad a much needed change from the typical German food. I ordered my very first cocktail, a Baby Doll which was delicious and I tried a Mai Tai- no thank you!
Now it's about 9:30 am and we're heading towards the Dolomites in Italy! So excited!
