..tourists 101...

On Saturday Wollie and me finally did the touristy thing and went up the Frauenkirche...The church is considered a landmark of the Bavarian capital and the towers are widely visible. The south tower is open and you can climb up the stairs and into a temperamental lift and have an amazing view of the city and if you're lucky the Alps.

The amazing view of the city. It was a little cloudy so we didn't see the Alps.

...fun in the sun...

I totally forgot to blog about this trip. Last week Saturday, Peter, Sophie, Wollie and me went to the Ammersee to soak up the lovely european sun. We had drinks, played volleyball, tanned and even swam. It was naaaaice!

...guests make me happy...

Over the weekend Peter and Sophie came to visit and on Sunday we picked up Arne at the airport. The boys are all here cause they always have an annual Africa Tour where they pick a destination, get a car and make their way there. It all started after University and they went roadtrippin to Zanzibar in a 4x4, that's where the name comes from and the name has just stuck even though they are not always in Africa...this is the 4th one and they are going through Eastern Europe. Unfortunately Wollie couldn't make it due to work overload. super sad face...Anyway, so we spent Sunday and Monday doing some exploring.

On Sunday we wanted to go hiking at Garmisch Partenkirchen, which is a mountain resort town in Bayern. The plan was to go up the Zugspitze (2,962 metres above sea level), which is the highest mountain in Germany, but it was such shitty weather that we drove all the way there, had lunch and wine and drove back home.

Then on Monday we went up 'Der Alte Peter' church to check out the view, and walked around town being all touristy.

...cheesy cheese...

Mark and Sarah gave us a fondue set for our housewarming gift (thanks guys...its wonderful) and we decided to make the most of it on Saturday night. We googled a recipe and bam...cheese fondue (with lots of alcohol). Peter, Sophie, Colleen, Sven, Wollie and me all had a nice cheesy fondue and ended up playing a ridiculous drinking game that didn't end very well ;)

When we went to Venice we saw this Gondola Guy who was flirting with some American tourists and totally overcharging her for a trip on his love machine. But he sat on the balcony and it was the perfect pic...I made Wollie stand next to him and I pretended to take pictures of Wollie. I got this great shot and I just love this pic.
