I woke up this morning in München, Germany – the first day of our German/Netherlands trip. I have never been to Germany before, so didn’t really know what to expect but… wow, so far I love it! Also this morning, I woke up with an idea. Here it is: To write a mini-ejo for every day of our trip! Great idea, huh?? I thought you’d like it.

OK, so Day 1. We are in a great apartment about a five minute walk to Marienplatz (the centre of town). Well, five minutes if you don’t keep getting lost, like we do!! But you know what? We don’t mind. It’s all part of the fun of exploring a new city. We found an incredible coffee shop (Bar Centrale) where they greet you in Italian and serve the best coffee I’ve ever had in Europe. Yep, even better than in Italy.

We are returning to Munich at the end of our trip (during Oktoberfest – coincidence or not? You make the call!) and David is trying to persuade me to buy one of the local costumes. I’m VERY tempted, and they are on sale ALL over town. What do you think?
