A few days in aboad

Hello dears,

Last few days I have been in abroad. I travelled in Germany, Munich where I spend most of my time. I did a day trip to Austria, Salzburg. I must say that I did liked Salzburg, it was small city, or should I say a town. It's quite weird to think it's the 4th biggest city in Austria.  Anyhow, on Sunday I arrived in Munich. The flight was a bit late so I really felt like doing anything else on Sunday than eat something and then go back to the hotel.  On Monday I did lots of walking. I wanted to go one of my favorite areas in Munich. That's Englischer garten. Such a lovely park. I recommed everyone to visit there if you're going in Munich. It was glad to see the proper autumn colors in Munich. In Finland the autumn color season wasn't as beautiful as in Munich.

I also visited 2 cemeteries on Monday. My travel guide said that the cemeteries in Munich are, a direct quotation, a romantic getaways. I thought, hmm, a romantic getaway, this I must see. Let's put it this way, my travel guide is exaggerating. Sure, the cemeteries were nice, very park like. The tombstones were beautiful. But everything was far from romantic. 

On Tuesday I did a day trip in Salzburg. I was quite worried coz the weather forecast promised rain for whole day. Luckily, it rained only in Munich. In the end I had a good weather were ever I were during my trip. Anyhow, I had a little problems to find the ZOB bus station in Munich. In the end I found it, after I had asked help. When I arrived in Salzburg I walked to the Mirabellgarten. It was one the places that I wanted to see in Salzburg. I must say "The Sound of the Music" had something to with it, actually quite a lot. When I walked at the garden I hummed " Do Re Mi" on my mind. Silly I  know.

From Mirabellgarten I walked to the old town of Salzburg. There were lot to see. Before exploring the old town I visited in Hohensalzburg fortress. From the forstess was absolutely beautiful view of the city.

When I got back to the city  I walked around the old town, Which was full of beautiful buildings.
It was quite easy to move around the old town. Everytime I found myself front of statue of Mozart. So, that kinda tells how small the old town really is.

After lots of walking I walked back to the bus station and took the bus back to Munich. The way back Munich took hours. There were bad traffic jams middle of the nowhere. We literally moved 2km/h. Since I didn't had hurry anywhere it was totally okay to me even the bus arrived late in Munich. I went straight to bed when I got back at the hotel. Honestly, I were quite tired.

On Wednesday I did more walking in Munich. I started my day with a long walk beside the river Isar. Again, I really enjoyed to admire the autumn colors.  When I walked around the city I kept thinking why we can't have such a lovely park like areas in Helsinki. I would definitely spend more time at the parks. The parks are one reason why I like Munich so much. It's just very lovely city.

After my morning walk I went to the centre of Munich to do some shopping. I bought a new shirt and skirt to myself. I also bought lots of FC Bayern München fan stuff to myself. Like Christmas calendar, which wasn't in a good shape when I got back at home, but hey, at least it's still in one piece and chocolated were inside the calendar.

On Thurday morning I had flight back at home. Even I do like a lot Munich it was nice to get back at home. I missed my own bed.

That's all this time. Till next time! Ciao!
