After saying goodbye to all the great people we have met and worked with in Bristol, we grabbed a hire car and left Bristol with just a suitcase and small backpack each, prepared (we hoped!) for the next 7 weeks of grueling travel…
We drove to Stansted airport, left the hire car and boarded a flight to Munich, Germany. We are still on our way to Croatia, however we are meeting Nada’s parents in Munich and then driving to Croatia. Nada’s father, Slavko, booked a hire car from Munich as it was far cheaper and easier than getting a car in Croatia.

Acres of Corn
Upon arriving in Munich we took the train into the city centre, on the way passing endless acres of corn. Arriving at the hotel we had one night to see as much of Munich as possible before meeting Slavko and Cathy at the airport the next morning (early flight). Nada immediately found a Munich Beer Sights tour so I said lets go do it now! Five minutes after arriving at the hotel we were on our way to the tour start point.
Beer museum display items
During the tour we sample many beers whilst also walking/subwaying around Munich to places such as the beer museum, we had a traditional meal with Oompa bans etc, and we finished off at the Hofbrauhaus House, the traditional beer hall where Hitler once spoke at. Now you can have a beer there, but they only come in 1 Litre Steins – hurrah!!!
Oompa Bands
1 Litre Steins - Prost! (German for Cheers!)
Overall it was a great tour and a top way to get a brief introduction to Munich – apart from the rain which was quite heavy all night. The beer made up for that though!

I have to say with only having one night in Munich at least you found the Hofbrauhaus House. Interesting place eh and such good beer!!!. There is a German night at the Bierkeller in Bristol once a month now that sort of recreates that atmosphere with the oompa band and all. Good times!!!
