Munich

We were running a little late for our flight to Stuttgart and when we checked in we found out that the flight was overbooked and that Jane and Marlynn most likely had to take a later flight. I wasn't to happy with this idea (since we would have to wait for them in Stuttgart for a couple of hours before we could start our trip) until we found out they would get a total of 500 Euro's in CASH!! Wow that sounded great. Well when we got to the gate there were two people who were not there yet so we Jane and Marlynn did make the flight and they didn't have to pay anyone. Too bad. A funny thing at the Amsterdam airport is that when you are late for a flight they will announce the following over the speakers (so everyone in the airport can hear it): "Will Carolyn James flying to Stuttgart please proceed to the gate, you are delaying the flight" It is pretty funny and NO they did not do this for us!

This was our wonderful nine passenger van we rented. We had soo much space, it was great!
That night we drove to Munich and spent the night there. The next morning we went to the down town area to see and hear the "Glockenspiel". Every day it chimes and re-enacts two stories from the 16th century. It consists of 43 bells and 32 life-sized figures.

Rathaus aka City Hall

After visiting the main square we went to a very nice open market.

Look at these asparagus. They were huge!

I just had to take a picture of this man in his Lederhosen.

Eating some yummy bratwursten.

We were pleasantly surprised at how nice of a city Munich was.
