A rare trip for work

For only the 3rd time in my career at my current employer, I got to hop on a plane this weekend and fly to another country.

I had a meeting to go to in Munich so decided to go out at the crack of dawn on Sunday and spend the day looking around the city. A slight risk given it was January... and it was cold, and a bit sleety, but not too bad that I couldn't bear to be outside. Certainly a different temperature from London though!

I considered doing a walking tour on the Sunday afternoon, but it was going to be 3 hours, and I just couldn't bear the thought of being outside for that long in those temps, so I decided not to. Wandered around for a while, went to the Stadtmuseum to get out of the cold and wandered around a bit more. There was an exhibition of puppetry at the museum - scary stuff!! The motion triggered laughing clown was particularly freaky...

Munich looked like a nice weekend break town though. I probably won't go back again, and I imagine its best just before Christmas when they have the Christmas markets, but I was pleased I made the effort to go out a bit earlier. Some pics on fb, and more on Flickr.
