Today a friend of mine from Frankfurt visited, and so I actually went downtown a bit. The English Garden is actually quite nice, and we walked until our feet hurt. Didn’t take nearly enough photos – I am always shy … Continue reading
It turns out you can actually see the alps from my apartment… sort of:
View of the Alps
I hadn’t noticed this before. As you can see it’s just a little gap in between the buildings, but hey, it’s still kind of nice.
Fun in the, er, rain:
I say we shall have to practice this at a later day.
On our way back from Schloss Neuschwanstein we got stuck in a pretty bad traffic jam, that delayed us for about 1.5 hours. Donnie and Andreas took some photos of it:
What had happened? Two cars collided with the barrier between the lanes, and it seems a third one crashed into them.

The passengers and drivers were brought to the hospital by emergency ambulance. There’s a German news article about the accident; it seems the injuries were not so bad, but there’s an impressive photo of the damaged car.

I’ve arrived in Munich. It’s good to finally be “home”, especially if it’s a new one. My move’s mostly complete, with a few odds and ends left. It went pretty well.

I haven’t really seen much of Munich yet. My feet are killing me because of all the walking I did last week, so I am not even sure if I will go out on a discovery tour this weekend or not.
