After we went to Italy we stayed in Munich with my great ant and uncle, Uta and Fritz.
We were there for 3 days. We did lots of site seeing in Munich. The first thing we visited was the Rathaus. A Rathaus is a town hall. The town hall in Munich is a really popular site because it has a Glockenspiel.
The glockenspiel tells a story with life size figures made out of ceramic.
On the top there were jesters and the king and queen sitting on their thrones.
At the end two knights on horses come and battle, one falls off and the other one wins.
The one that wins is from Bavaria because Munich is in Bavaria
Next was my favourite which was the famous Hofbräuhaus where me, my mums and Uta went and got lunch.
I got a massive Apfelschorle which is really good German fizzy apple juice.
The Hofbräuhaus was built in 1589 and is one of the oldest beer halls and breweries in the world. It has 100 waiters and waitresses serving 30,000 people on a busy day.
I really enjoyed the 'Blaskapelle' which is the German name for a brass band. The band plays in the restaurant. They also wear lederhosen which are leather pants.
My food was super good because they make the best meat dish called 'Schnitzel' and I even like the salad. All the food we have here is super good.
Once our tummys were full with delicious food we headed off to Nymphenburg Palace.
If you don't know what it is; it is a palace built in Munich, Germany.
It was commissioned by Ferdinand Maria and Henriette of Savoy and built in 1664 and completed in 1675.
Nymphenburg Palace is a major tourist attraction with a museum,a shop,a ballroom,and lots of other stuff.
Its cool how all around the palace there's a massive garden with connecting rivers and streams through it.We saw the carriages the King used and they were golden and designed with angels and all sorts of things. They also had sleds and when you walked past them you could hear the ringing of the bells the horses wore.
There are lots of pumping stations so even though the rivers connect the water still moves in a particular direction.
The royal family needed these not just for design but to get around in little paddle boats.
The rivers lead into one big one and it goes right through onto the city.
I thought its really cool because in winter it freezes so you can ice-skate up and down on it.
We are back at my grandfather's house now and I have been putting food in a box on a tree for the squirrels.
