This post covers two days in Munich.  We began the morning by heading back to Marienplatz.  Yesterday, I happened upon a German band performing in the street.  By the time I made it to them, their performance was over.  After a little research last night, we are going back to the surrounding area today to try to see a German band perform.

Munich, Germany

Munich is the last city on our trip.  We set out this morning to explore the city!

The Famous Glockenspiel!

Prague, Czech Republic

Prague is beautiful!  Our hotel, The Hilton Prague, gave us a room with a beautiful view overlooking Old Town.  Watching trains go by with the town in the background...amazing!

We are only in Prague for a day but plan to make the most of our time exploring this city.  

Salzburg, Austria & Hitler's Eagle's Nest

We are in Europe for two weeks to visit several countries.  We flew into Munich today and will be visiting Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Poland, and Czech Republic over the next two weeks.

Munich Airport

Leaving Romania

 Today we say goodbye to Romania.  We will be flying from Bucharest to Munich, Germany and then onto Chicago, Illinois.

Traveling to Romania Days 1 and 2

We flew out of Chicago O'Hare on a Sunday night on Lufthansa.  We arrived the next morning in Munich, Germany. Munich has a very clean, quiet, and modern airport.  Very nice.  We had a little time before our connection, so we took a few minutes to explore.

Munich Airport had these neat napcabs.  You pay with a card and can take a nap during your layover or before you head out to explore the city.  One was being cleaned while we walked by, and it looked quite nice and clean.

 

Touring Cologne Cathedral

We will be touring the Cologne Cathedral today.  It took over 600 years to complete and during World War II, it was one of the few locations in Cologne not destroyed.  It did suffer bomb strikes but the belief is that the Cathedral was a landmark to pilots.  Since the Cathedral helped pilots know their location, they did not want to wipe it off the map.

Christmas Markets in Cologne, Germany

Today we are driving to Cologne, Germany!  I can't wait to see this city!
