Our Last Evening in Munich

Well, Monday was our last day in Munich. The weather cooperated which was great - not as warm, as we'd have liked but sun, even if it was cool, trumps rain and cloud any day! We walked much of the route our bus tour took Sunday and this time we got to take pictures. What struck us most was that this city has lots of open space for parks, squares and gardens. The Englischer Garten here is about the same size as New York's Central Park even though the city is much smaller.  Also, there are so many pedestrian zones that, in spite of having to dodge and be aware of the many bicycles, it is a city that is great for walking.  As the day wound down, we returned to our hotel to get organized for Mena and Trev's departure - backing up photos, etc.  then, we headed over to Marienplatz for a glass of Prosecco in the sun.  Then, shunning the more touristy spots, we went to a small restaurant we had found not far from the Hofbrauhaus.  The Weinhaus Schneider was exactly what we wanted - cozy (sehr gut Gemutlichkeit), friendly service (freundlich) and good food (gut Geschmeck).  So, we dined on Wiener Schnitzel, spareribs and pork medaillons with white asparagus, salads and red wine.  The owners were lovely and it was a perfect way to spend our last evening together.

 
Bon voyage, Mena and Trevor!
