With this post i would like to share with you my Munich trip :). I and Maya left for Munich on 2nd January morning and were back to wageningen on 7th Morning. So we were in Munich for around 4.5 days and we had such a great time there! We stayed there with Linda, my housemates best friend. She is born and bred in Munich, so she is the best host and guide we could have had :)
A classic train journey in the Alps! Let the trip begin :)
With Linda, our awesome host!
Munich is one of the richest cities in Germany with a huge economy. Many German MNC's have their headquarters there. Situated almost the the southern tip of Germany, it is very near Austria and Switzerland and is surrounded by Alps. It is the capital of Bavaria province and is known for its October Fest all over the world! For the first time i saw beer houses there. Basically you can eat food and drink some classic Bavarian beers in them. They are all over Munich. You gotta love their craze for beers!
On our first day, we walked around the impressive city center of Munich, did grocery shopping and made some couscous salad filled in roasted red pepper for dinner.

In next 3 days, we saw the Deutsches Museum (largest technical museum in Europe), Neuschwanstein Castle (inspiration for Disneyland's Sleeping Beauty Castle) and Kampenwand mountain.

We took a rope-way to ascend 1500 m
and Linda and Maya were so scared that they didn't even wanted to look outside :P
On the top, we found nothing but snow :( and no view because of fog!
I will eat Neuschwanstein Castle :D

In between all these excursions, we offcourse found some time to try typical German drinks like Feuerzangenbowle (you can only drink it if you can pronounce it :P).
Cheers over Feuerzangenbowle!!
Here is a nice video on how to make your own Feuerzangenbowle:
On our last day in Munich, we were invited for dinner by Eva's family. Her mom made the best Korean food ever!

It was the best end of our trip i could have expected. We had to roll after dinner to reach station to catch our train back to Wageningen. I wished goodbye to Linda and to Munich with heavy heart and with a promise that i will return for Oktoberfest next year ;). As train zoomed out of Munich, I tried to catch some sleep (unsuccessfully i must say)! We were back to good old Wageningen on Monday morning :)
That's all for now, its 1 am already and i have to work tomorrow. So good night dames en heren! Lekker Slaap!
