Munich 24th-26th August

I have decided to go to Munich, for of course the history and culture, but also the biergartens and bierhalls.

I have also found, thanks to my friend and yours - Google, a shrine to St Mundita. Actually I gather it is more than a shrine, but her be-jewelled skeleton in a church not far from where I have booked my accommodation. I am interested in her not only for the sparkly things, but for the fact that she is the Saint for Single Women. Must say it kind of made my decision easy when I was tossing up between Munich and Berlin. A little divine help never hurt anyone right?!

I also promise to be a REAL TOURIST, and finally realise I am not just traveling for me here, but also for all the people I am going to make sit through a slide show when I return - better make it last more than ten minutes eh?! (I read recently that the resurfacing of slide shows was one of the top 5 annoying things about digital cameras, and I might as well get a piece of that action, God knows I have had to sit through my fair share so far in life already.....)
