| Dave in Marienplatz |
Our second day in Munich and feeling a
little ‘dusty,’ as Dave likes to call it, we had a slow start to the morning
having a picnic breakfast between Mulder and Belinda and Rod’s car.
We decided to have a ‘rest day’ from
Oktoberfest feeling a little old, and so we headed in to explore the city
centre of Munich a little more.
We found the train much easier to get
around on and cheaper too. We wound up in Marienplatz - the main city square.

Dave and I headed off in search of lunch
and some souvenir pieces from Munich. The plan was lunch at a beer hall – the
usual outlets for Munich’s main beer giants even at non-Oktoberfest time,
however we settled for Indian – lovely but felt a little out of place in
Germany’s heartland.
After lunch we hit shops determined to find
some tract – anyone who knows me, knows I’m never one to miss a fancy dress
opportunity. The guy at the tourist info office led us to C & A (European
Target) to pick up nice but cheap costumes. ‘Cheap’ started from E9E90 on
special and went upwards from there. Some women pay thousands for silk
drindels. The guys started at 100E, no sales on them. We settled on getting
Dave a nice checkered red shirt and I managed to pick up a full outfit on sale.
We also convinced Belinda to come and pick up an outfit after we met them later
at the 5pm chiming of the glockenspiel – the clock tower with revolving
figurines and jousting knights. All done with our day in town we headed back to
camp amongst all the drunks to cook ourselves a nice chicken and salad dinner.
