Munich Day 1

We had a bit of a sleep in today. I found out that going to Oktoberfest on day 1 meant lining up at 7am and then fighting and running to get to the front to get a table. That sounded pretty awful so I was happy to just chill out. For lunch we went to the super market to get some weisswurst (white sausage) and cooked that up, yum. We were going to go to the deutshc museum but we were running too late to make it worth while so instead Johannes took me on a bit of a bike tour. I was pretty terrified of riding on the road (without a helmet I might add) but its actually pretty sweet because of all the bike lanes. We rode through the English garden where we saw the wave:

It was pretty cold but there were a few hardy souls in it. It is a man made wave (obviously) in a river that runs through the park.

We rode further into the centre and looked in a ridiculously expensive shop where you could buy a bottle of cognac for 3000 euro or something. Then we went up a bell tower thing and found these dudes playing us a tune:

Below is a picture of the mayors house (I love how they call it a Rat Haus!) which seems a little over the top in my opinion.

On the way home we had a look at this guy:

He is titled "the walking man" which is very misleading as he doesn't move at all. Apparently some flashy insurance company owns him (he is in front of their building). It was kinda weird that he was pretty high up on the list of things to see in Munich. UTFA methinks.

For dinner we had white asparagus and mashed potato with a sour egg sauce thing and some asparagus ham (apparently that exists!). Compliments go to the chefs Johannes and Louise. Cheers guys.
