Last day in Munich

Holiday snaps. You've either got it or you aint...

We ate in Weisses Brauhaus last night. We were told it's usually full of locals eating weißwurst breakfasts so it's probably good. I was spoiled for choice. Should I go for the veal diaphram (kalbskron), the pigs lungs tripe and sweetbread (voressen) or the veal spleen sausage (kalberne milzwurst)?

I settled for pork knuckle again and Catherine went for roast pork. Both were awesome but I'm not sure the pork knuckle beat the Hofbrauhaus offering. It is a really nice beer hall though. Full of locals and very few tourists. Our waitress looked like a big German Germaine Greer. She was lovely. Also liked the fact that service is included in prices (check the smallprint!), and you can pay a few euros more or less and they'll give you bigger or smaller portions. I can't imagine that you'd ever want bigger portions.

Took a steady stroll around Munich today. Hit a couple of beer stops that we hadn't tried before.
Grabbed some weißbier and currywurst in the Augustiner Bierhalle for a late lunch. Prob my favourite beer so far. The currywurst really hit the spot too.

Caught the midday performance at the Glockenspiel. It's the huge performing musical clock in the Rathaus clock tower. Dancers and jousters spin around 3 times a day. It's worth catching if you're passing by but don't go outta your way.

We also climbed the tower at St Peters church. Cracking views from the top but it's a long windy narrow climb to the top. Once you're up there you can see as far as the Alps.

Stopped by Asamkirche on the way past. A few people popping in so we followed. It's spectacular. It's a small but ornate church constructed in 16th century by a chap as the final resting place for him and his brother. Definitely worth a look.

Spent the rest of the afternoon leisurely strolling and drinking.

Collected our luggage from the hotel and took the S8 subway train to the airport. Bought a one day group travel ticket for less than €20 earlier today. It's cheapest way to get to airport plus we can use it during the day to get around. Airport journey is just over half an hour.

We're at airport now. Flight delayed by 40 mins so far. We might struggle to get back tonight but fingers crossed. The last train from airport to York is 00:48 so best case scenario is home for about 3.15am. Worst case is a night at Manchester airport.

It's the law...

Not an optical illusion. The beer really is as big as Catherine...
