You didn't happen to wander around the Wies'n while you were there?
ReplyDeleteDachau is a nice place but I would not consider it a suburb of Munich... It does have a lot of good pubs and Chinese restaurants. Just a shame that all it's remembered for is the KL.
I kinda miss Germany...
At least you didn't mention the war. I mentioned it once but I think I might have got away with it.
ReplyDeleteJust so long as you didn't try the "delicacy" that isn't, the raw sausage meat. Andy & I are STILL ill. We went to Munich over a year ago.
ReplyDeleteGraeme no we didn't get a chance it was almost a straight in and out. We stopped at a place called Schrobenhausen and only saw quite a bit of the countryside on the way back as we didn't know the diverted routes out.
ReplyDeleteSelina - Nope we were very good.
Charlee - Didn't have any sausage at all :(
