St Katejan Church Munich

May 28, 2008

I could spend all my time touring the churches. There are so many and all are so beautiful and unique. You just never know what you are going to find behind that door… But this […]

We arrived in Munich on Thursday (the 22nd of May). Another beautiful city and seemingly less formal (conservative?) than Vienna. Keeping up with Slice on der Drahtesel (the wired donkey) is easier because Munich is flat. Vienna is seemingly flat but has lots of subtle inclines and at times I was quite exasperated that I […]

A slightly sunny spring day at the Chinsesicher Turm Biergarten in the Englischer Garten. The Chinese Tower was built in 1789. Two litres….. Aaaaahhhhh…… After the Bier……(notice the traditional garb in the background)

Slice on the Bike at Königssee

May 21, 2008

From Vienna….to Graz….to Salzberg….to Berchtesgaden. Surrounded by mountains, this alpine lake near the town of Berchtesgaden is known as the Königssee (means King’s Lake, I think). This photo of Slice beside the lake…says it all. We spent two days here cycling through beautiful forests…. We camped not far from the Königssee at this place…. And […]

May 15, 2008

We first encounted the Smart Car in Vienna when we were here in 2003. Then they started turning up in Australia. Are they in America? They are decorated in all sorts of advertorial (is that a word?) ways…Slice thought this made a good photo.

An Almdudler and Cafe Wortner

May 14, 2008

We’ve spent the past few days doing bureaucratic things. Getting the Wohnmobile licenced and insured; joining the roadside service club (like NRMA or AAA). Our chores have entailed cycling all around the place. I got an odometer and we’ve been averaging between 25 and 40km (15 to 25 miles) per day. And the weather has […]

Flea Market at the Naschmarkt

May 12, 2008

Every Saturday there is a Flea Market at the Naschmarkt. Now the Naschmarkt is a produce market in the city. It began as a milk market in the 16th century. It is a wonderful place to get spices, produce, cheese, vinegars (bring your own bottle and turn one of the taps), sauerkraut (the real stuff […]
