Munich

Finally arrived in Munich. :-)
I got picked up by Martin and Sandra and went with them to Studentenstadt for having Wiener Schnitzel with Pommes and Weißbier. A perfect welcome to Bavaria!
Afterwards we went for meeting Till, Vilma and Bernie to Pobolowsky's and catched up a bit.....

Back in Munich!

Brussels

The stopover in Brussels was quick. Just a few hours to get an impression of the city. The connection from the airport was easy and cheap and allowed to be in the city center in 15 min.
So I visited the inner city and the main tourist attractions. Very nice!!
