Munich Trip in the middle of August

Went to Munich with my friend Nicole before she left for home in August and here are some of the pictures we took of the beautiful city.






A guide for the blind

The 1972 Olympics commemorated in the new town house.

Trevor, our New Munich guide, giving us an explanation for the "royal" residence of the Bavarian kings.


The open market - really busy little place...I enjoyed it as I sipped my iced mocca across the street with Nicole.


Munich was the birthplace of the Nazi and yet more than half a century after the WWII, here is a synagogue once again...I admire the Jews for their determination to triumph against all odds.

One of the more "overt" dedication to the holocaust (Munich is definitely the soul of discretion in this matter).



A river running through the city.



The new city hall by day and by night.
From the top of the city hall, you can see this church which was rumoured to have been built by the devil.





One of the towers of the church.



Nicole, wondering why I'm snapping a picture of her. Anyway, we were waiting for the train to take us to the airport on our way back to Edinburgh....I definitely enjoyed my trip very much. Thanks, Nicole, for the memories.
