Munich 2012 - Part 1

Munich 

Saturday - December 8th 2012

Before we headed to Munich, Claudia and I had tickets to the so called Winterfest in Salzburg. So Friday evening we went to see the show Extremités from Cirque Inextremistes and it was fantastic. The three performers, one of them needs a wheelchair, put a wonderful show together.

Saturday morning friends of ours picked us up and around noon we arrived in Munich. First we drove to our hotel, parked the car and checked in. Unfortunately our rooms weren't ready yet and so we were off to the city.

Since it was already noon, we were getting hungry and decided to eat falafels at Sababa located at the Viktualienmarkt. Later we went to a small Christmas Market and had our first mulled wine.

While the girls did some shopping, the men enjoyed a cold beer at the Hacker-Pschorr Beer House. A beer later they picked us up again we walked over to the Schrannenhalle where we had a snack before we enjoyed two bottles of wine at the Steirerladen (Styria Market). Afterwards it was time for another mulled wine.

Dinner was at Max Pett, a vegan restaurant. We were lucky to get a table, because it was really crowded and we had to be quick. I ordered an oriental dish while Claudia opted for Cheese Spätzle. Both meals were wonderful and after a chocolate mousse for dessert, we met with our friends at the Hard Rock Cafe. There we enjoyed another beer and then we walked back to our hotel called Motel One. After we unloaded our stuff in our rooms, we had a last drink at the hotelbar

The rooms in the Motel One hotels are small, but comfortable and offer a bathroom and a TV. They are definitely big enough for two adults on a weekend trip. After the drinks we got up to our room and went to bed.

Although our hotel offered breakfast, we decided to eat somewhere else. We booked a breakfast buffet in another hotel, named Louis, because that one also offered vegan options. And we were not disappointed. The buffet offered all kinds of breads and buns, salmon, several sausages and cheeses, juices and coffees.

Before we returned home, we walked around several Christmas Markets in Munich and had a cup of coffee at Starbucks. We arrived in Salzburg in the early afternoon.
