More from Munich

Hey, well it's been a couple of days since my last update so I've got a couple more pics than usual. The photos above are in chronological order and I will explain them in that order as well.

On Saturday we visited the Englischergarten which is certainly a beautiful garden. One random thing there that I had heard of before but didn't realise it could be seen in Munich was the 'river surfing'. The pic is a view from a bridge over the river where there were a whole bunch of guys dropping in and riding for between 30 secs to 3 minutes each - pretty cool to watch! On Saturday evening we had a bbq close to Mark and Andrea's place by the Isar river. The pic for that event shows the various other crews along the beach hanging around the fires. That shot was about a 15 sec exposure I think, so it really was pretty dark at that stage. On Sunday we had a drive of a bit over an hour to get to Chiemsee which is a nice lake in this area. Once again a very scenic location and there are a number of little islands within the lake that can be visited. They have various castles and churches on these little islands. We visited two of the islands Herreninsel and Fraueninsel. It was pretty hard to pick a photo to show this area but you can see the nice still water we cruised around on to get to these islands as well as an idea of how many sailing and pleasure craft cruise around this lake. After a delicious meal at a local fish restaurant we headed back to Munich. Today I went to visit a couple of tourist attractions within Munich. I popped into the Olympic stadium. Since I enjoyed looking around the Berlin one so much I thought I better have a look at the one in Munich as well. After that I visited Schloss Nymphenburg which had an immense and beatiful garden as well.

So that about covers it for the main attractions for the last couple of days. Hope everyone out there is going good. Signing off :)
