Annette and I spent 4 nights in Munich. More specifically, we were in Schwabing.We stayed in the townhouse of Chris and Cornelia and took care of our grandchildren Viatrix and Ernst, while Chris and Cornelia went to Rome. We arrived on January 28, 2024 and left on February 1.
Arriving on Sunday January 28, 2024
Munich - beer!
Bavarian International School
During the day, Viatrix and Ernst were at school, which is about 1 mile away on Leopoldstrasse.
At School in the Library
Krapfen
On the way back from school, sometimes by tram (just 2 stops), Via and Erni would like to stop for a Krapfen (donut).
Taking the Tram
Weinbauer in Schwabing
The first evening alone with the kids we went to dinner at Weinbauer, a traditional Bavarian beer tavern. I had an excellent Weissburgunder from Franken, the only German wine region which is in Bavaria.
Tantris
Tantris, the legendary restaurant, where German Nouvelle Cuisine was borne 50 years ago, is very close to the school of Viatrix and Ernst.
Felix Haibach
Annette's friend Felix Haibach came by for a drink and joined us for dinner.
Sushi at Fuikaiten
At the request of Erni, one evening we had dinner at a Japanese restaurant ("running sushi").
Werneckhof Sigi Schelling
Chef Sigi Schelling, who for many years was the #2 at the Tantris, recently opened her own restaurant in Schwabing. 1 star Michelin. On our "to do list".
Schwabing
Last Evening: Salmon at Home
