It has been great to have my brother, Mike, and his wife, Pat, over for a four day visit. After living on the other side of the world for so long it is nice to know they are only a couple of hours away. Since they have not been to Germany before we tried to find the most German/Bavarian things for them to see and do.
The first day we went into Munich We had to take a detour as the local train was halted due to the discovery of a WWII bomb near the line. We wandered around the streets looking at many different monuments and churches, finishing the day having dinner at the our local Bavarian restaurant.
The next day was Good Friday. Many places were closed but we got to walk around the gardens at Schloss Nymphenburg and had lunch and a walk at Freising, one of the oldest settlements in Bavaria.
Saturday we took a day trip out to Regensburg, a medieval town on the Danube. It was a beautiful sunny day so it was great to walk around the town and have a traditional lunch (sausages and beer) outside followed by strudel!
Sunday we had a leisurely walk through the English Garden (Europe's largest city park and bigger than New York's Central Park). We got to see some local river surfing before going to the Hofbrauhaus for a late lunch before they flew home in the evening.
