MUNICH and SALZBURG

May 31-June 1.  MUNICH, GERMANY.  We stayed at a campsite within Munich proper, which is owned by the city, in an area called Talkirchen (Tierpark).  The campground had a river running through it where the water narrowed and people were kayaking through the small rapids.  Young people were also jumping in off the edge on their surfboards (in wetsuits, of course) and rode the wave before tumbling down the rapids.
We took the underground to the city center and watched the famous carillon (Glockenspiel).  Saw varied churches, the Viktaulienmarket (a great food, produce, meat, and art vendor market).  By then we needed a beer stop at the Hofbrauhaus.  We then went to the 1972 Olympic Stadium and the BMW Welt (fabulous showroom with headquarters next door) and Museum.




June 2-3.  SALZBURG, AUSTRIA.  This is the third time we have been to this lovely city.  We stayed at a secluded campsite and took a bus to city center.  We walked around the old town, learned about Mozart, went into churches, and took in the scenery.  Tomorrow we are off to new lands for us.  We will start in Bled, Slovania, and continue south along the Adriatic Coast before heading north at some point.  As our good friend says, our plans are firmly implanted in jello!
