Sadly, our time in Munich has come to an end and it's time to grab an AirBerlin flight to Berlin. Munich has been fantastic. No one we know could tell us much about it before we arrived but the city, especially the old central part has an amazing vibe.
People seem to take precedence over traffic and there are wide pedestrian-only streets everywhere. The locals stroll about shopping and eating and drinking well into the night and it just comes across as warm and friendly. There is music aplenty, political rallies and student love-ins. What more could you want? Some photos follow....

Deutsches Museum, Munich
This museum is amazing..apparently one of the best technological museums in the world. We rate it just behind the Smithsonian in Washington DC.

The English Gardens
These are 'gardens' that are actually a huge 950 hectare woodland in the middle of Munich. In the centre is the Chinese Pagoda.

The Main Square
These main square in old Munich is Marienplatz, which is dominated by the Church of the Two Women and the Rathaus or town hall.

Students Orientation - University of Technology
We stumbled upon this outdoor music fair in the grounds of one of the museums - music food, beer and other funny things quite illegal in Aus. Naturally we were invited to join into MOST of the festivities.
