A Full Day in München

We ambled out of the hotel shortly before lunchtime, and ended up at the restaurant Opatija around the corner from our hotel, after discovering that it had a pretty good TripAdvisor profile.  We both opted for fish this time, and the food was not bad at all! 🙂

I got so sleepy after eating lunch (I guess all available blood got diverted to the digestive system) that we headed back to the hotel and I took a nap! Almost two hours later, we headed out again on a stroll.

First stop: the ice-cream store. 🙂 Mmmm… iiiice-creeeam!

Bavarian-ish building with street-bridge.

The first of many churches on our way. At some point it felt like the churches in the area were competing in some church-bell-music competition, trying to out-do one another!

Lots and lots of tourists, and a surprisingly large number of Americans!

Looking towards the town hall sitting on the Marienplatz.

Walking into the market called Viktualienmarkt. This is looking towards one of the entrances.

There were a lot of people there, even though it was starting to rain.

Bavarian clothing. It looked like there was some festival going on.

More fancy clothing.

A big Maypole.

The market had different sections, here’s the fruit section, pretty deserted due to the rain.

The bottom of the fancy Maypole.

We drifted away from the market, and walked past a few stores selling Bavarian clothing. Sexy, sexy, Bavarian clothing!

Fitting for the whole family! 🙂

Padded boob-section optional. 🙂

Yet another very loud church!

We were surprised to find that there was a wedding going on inside the church! Furthermore, large portions of the ceremony were being conducted in English?!

The random onlookers in the back.

Labeling the candles is a good idea. Now I know what church this was! 🙂

Me in front of the Town Hall – in a new shirt because I dropped food on the other one. Yes, I’m a clumsy klutz!

A little further along we stumbled upon a H&M store, which one is required to enter if one is Icelandic. I had a great time finding clothes for the kids, while Finnur wilted away and was almost asleep on the floor when I was all done.

A few houses away was yet another church, this time the Munich Frauenkirche. It was quite visually boring in comparison with the glittering gold the previous church had.

Can we go now? 🙂

We made a quick pit-stop at this cafe (tried another one first, but didn’t get any service for some odd reason). While we sat there, Finnur’s coworkers walked past and we chatted for a bit.  Note the church we just came from in the background.

This entire zone is only for women in dresses with one child.

Old-style gals looking at new-style stuff with Christ right next to them.

Rat-house-gallery? No, apparently ‘rat’ in German has to do with ‘council’.

Heading back to the hotel.  I thought the painted stripes on the house looked interesting. Little did I know I was taking a picture of the local Google office!

Whoa, that’s a lot of plant on the side of one house!

When we walked past it, I realized this was one of the ‘top’ restaurants in the area, so Finnur walked in and made a dinner reservation.

Soon we were back at the hotel, where I had a, uh, second nap of the day. 🙂 Pregnant, remember!!?!?!

Finnur with his dinner. 🙂

My dinner. It was really quite nice. The soup was the most awesome though, and dessert was yummy!

On our way out after a lovely meal. We saw this cheese bowl being used in our room. The waitress poured a bowl of boiling hot spaghetti into it and rolled it around to create a cheese sauce, pausing for pictures while she was at it. 🙂
