Day Trip to Passau

We got so much done on a first day in Munich that we decided to take a day trip to Passau and do a little exploring.

Englischer Garten in Munich

After spending the first half of the day on Marienplatz and in Viktualienmarkt we walked to Odeonsplatz and through the Englischer Garten. The weather was great for early May, it was sunny and in the 70s. Perfect beer garden weather.

A Day in Munich, Germany

Our first day in Germany was spent exploring Munich. I'd been here briefly in 2006 so I had an idea of where to go and what we should see. Munich was much more fun this time around since there was no set itinerary, time tables or anything like that. We got to see the city at our own pace and it worked out pretty well. We did so much in the first day that I've decided to split everything into a couple of posts, below is the first set of pictures from Munich.

Chiemsee, Berchtesgaden, Salzburg and the Bavarian Alps
