Friday 27th August

The next day was Prague to Munich via an old town called Nordlingen, a walled city from the 13th century which was untouched during the war. We had a wander through the town, then on to Munich. Munich is town of old and new. Another glockenspiel! Some of the young ones headed to town for a drink and a meal at the Hofhaus. We were boring and went with a group to the local pub. The waiter was lovely and very patient with crazy tourists who have no idea about German menus. We had a great evening once again with our Canadian friends. Most Europeans speak English and put us to shame. We drove past the spot where they are setting up for this year’s Oktoberfest. Lots of beer tents already erected. Some quite old buildings and BMW and Mercedes are trying to outdo each other by constructing amazing buildings.
