First Stop: Munich
First stop: Munich. A smooth start as it was not too much of a cultural change for us.
The first 3 days were nice and cosy. On the program: visit of modern art museum (Pinakothek der Modernen - highly recommendable!), excursion to castle Nymphemburg, stroll in the city and its parks, heavy food (knoedel, kraut and sausages), good beer and friendly people.
The next 3 days we went to see our friend Sascha in Weilheim, hometown of some of the finest bands in Germany (Notwist, Console, Lali Puna...). Unfortunately, the weather didn't permit us to do our planned hike in the bavarian mountains. Instead, we did some swimming in the lake, some shopping and relaxed ourselves through the last rainy day at the sauna.
