On the road again

Aplogies for the crude 'phone snaps. I usually carry my digi camera, but forgot it.....duh. I'll try to get some classic background images as I travel.

Here we go, first trip of the year and it's a short two hours flight with a one hour time jump. So suitcase packed and off on Lufty to the beautiful Bavarian capital of Munich for a little business, a little beer and to check the time on the awesome Glockenspiel atop the Gothic splendour of the Rathaus

The 43 bells play a 15 minute carillon at 11.00am and between May and October 12.00am and at 5pm. The 32 mechanical figures of musicians, knights etc re-enact the marriage festivities of the marriage of Duke Wilhelm V to Renate von Lothringen in 1568.

WOW
