Spring is finally here! We didn't take photos in the first week of Spring - and it's a shame, because these trees were completely covered with tiny white flowers. It looked like snow when there was a slight breeze and all the petals would fall to the ground.
Just around the corner from our house is an enormous parkland. You can see the Olympic tower in the background too. It's lovely here temperature wise this time of year too. Once you're out in the sun you barely want a cardigan on, but it's cool enough to spend the whole day outdoors.
Tulips grow like mad here, and they're everywhere. Daffodils too. In the city centre the fountains are going again and all the cafes and restaurants have full tables outside! Eating outside regularly is something we take for granted back home with it being a seasonal affair here. But somehow the changing seasons are kind of exciting. The beer gardens are filling up, clothes are coming off (literally - we saw one man in the park in just his knickers. Goodness).
Our spring thing is brie and honey sandwiches in the park, sipping wine. With a luxury like this costing about 4 Euros I really, really, really want to stay here forever and ever.
It's also Frühlingsfest in Munich at the moment, which means beer tents, carnival rides, and an enormous flea market.
It was so great having Linda and Greg here! We became tourists in Münich all over again and went on a few day trips not far from here. We also went to BMW World. It was full of cars and motorbikes, race car drivers and tourists.
We had lots of German food this week. I honestly love German sausages, I never get sick of them and I never will.
It's only 2 Euros to get the the top of St. Peter's Church Tower. Finally we managed to squeeze the Rathaus into a single photograph.
Still loving Munich!
