Munich Sights

We left the Obersalzburg, finally, and drove on to Munich, staying at Camping Thalkirchen (where we had stayed in 1979) for three nights while we re-explored this beautiful city, using the very convenient bus/subway/tram system for transportation.

Yes, we are in the land of super-sized
pretzels












One of the twin domes of the Marienkirche;
the other was under scaffolding












Interior of the church; rather dull, I thought











The Augustiner, one of the older brewhouses








Street scene; the Starbucks dates from 1328...












Another...all this undoubtedly re-built;
Munich was fairly flattened by bombing in
1944-45













The very famous Rathaus











With its even more famous clock











The joust, at the critical moment












Followed by the dancing of the apprentices
or someone else












My attempt at going native ended successfully
