3. Munchen next day. Museum, Rathaus, food and bits and pieces..

We had a look at Marienplatz in the daytime.  This is the Rathaus, which translates as Town Hall.

On our walks, we passed a pastry shop.  This was the window display.
This one didn't have the most appealing name.It translates as 'doughnut"

We walked to the Deutches Museum.

You could spend a lot of time there, but we looked at three sections: a High Voltage display, Aviation and Medicines.   The English descriptions varied, but you didn't need any to watch the lightning demonstration!

We looked at a couple of churches.  We are not in the Lutheran part of Germany - Bavaria is very Catholic as it turned out.   And they have bells, all rung together at the same time!.  The pitch is low, so it merges into one dirge. I must still be jet-lagged.

This was lunch.  Nudel suppe (ie noodle soup).
KM had penne puttanesca.  Both were salty, but they had good coffee!
.Germany is green.  This is an electric vehicle! 

We have found the nearby supermarket has an array of bread, hot meat, salad and pastry, so have been buying food from there to eat in our room.

I have been surprised how different German is from the Latin languages I am more familiar with.  French/Italian/Spanish have links and knowing one helps with the others. I had thought German and English were sufficiently similar to help with the other - but they are not!  Or perhaps I know more French than I had realised.  No doubt we will have acquired some vocab by the time we get back home.
