I arrived at my hotel in southern Munich about 8pm and then took the Underground to the Marienplatz (Altstadt) the old downtown. Had a very traditional German meal at Hundskugel a restaurant that opened in 1440. Then a stroll back through the pedestrian streets of the Altstadt to the Hofbrauhaus. Hofbrauhaus is one of 6 brew-pubs in Munich, if you can call it a pub. As I got nearer I could hear the funky back beat of a tuba and then at the entrance I was met with a warm stream of smokey beer-soaked air and the sound of hundreds of inebriated voices singing German beer songs along with the oompa band. I took one last breath of fresh air and found my self a spot at one of the hundreds of tables and ordered a half liter of Weisse bier. Chatted with some Italian tourists and then the Underground back to my Hotel. Short sleep and swim and off to the Munich office.

You were in Munich a little early for Oktoberfest. But I 've been to Marienplatz too!
