Up super early again - these the views from the window...
...as the sun came up...
Out onto the stairs just before seven...
Looking up...
Looking down...
Looking out...
Onto Erhardstrasse with the latest CBQ piece on the cans...
Over the bridge once again but this time with a street map about my person...
Power station in the distance...
...and the church along the road from our flat...
A tree in the river...
Our flat behind the two big trees on the right...
By twenty past...
I was close to my target...
...which I found today...
...without difficulty...
In 1979, I lived in this building, in the room to the left of the door, for three months, whilst working in a printing factory in the suburbs of Munich...
It was, and is, a youth home, run by a church...
My album of piano music, betonmusik and short wave radio, "Munchen Musik", was recorded here - all the piano pieces taped in a room at the back of the complex on my first, very rainy weekend in the city...
It was my home from home...
I walked over this street every day...
...saw this church...
..made my way through this tunnel...
...to the S-Bahn station on Rosenheimerplatz...
...to catch the S6 in the direction of Erding...
Good memories...
Anyway, mission accomplished - and so back down to the river...
...and home with breakfast provisions...
A squint through CP's artworks...
..and then, out for today's adventures...
Up Fruanhoferstrasse and past the fire station...
...to Sendlinger Tor...
...and along Sendlingerstrasse...
...noting this church...
...which we would visit later today...
In the meantime, it was in to Saturn for your CD junkie correspondent, with three purchases being made...
Out onto Karlsplatz and the main shopping street, Neuhauserstrasse...
...past the spot where some fairly unsuccessful busking was undertaken 34 years ago by a young man with a repertoire of songs which, in the whole of Munich, indeed the whole of Europe, probably only he knew...
Past the twin towers of the Frauenkirche...
...noting a couple of bronze artefacts on the way...
..and back to Marienplatz...
...to join the crowds...
...all watching the midday performance of the marionettes in the main tower of the NeueRathaus or New Town Hall...
We also admired the statues around the foot of the Golden Madonna...
...before heading into the Town Hall Courtyard...
...for lunch...
Then, back to the Frauenkirche - one of the least impressive of the churches we visited during our stay...
...and which certainly couldn't hold a candle to the St.-Johann-Nepomuk-Kirche, commonly referred to as the Asamkirche, after its builders...
The beast etc...
I especially liked the golden skeleton...
Outside...
...and over the road for some apple cake to take back to the flat...
On the way there, someone was getting a treat in a fire engine...
These weird balls in the grounds of the Patent Office intrigued - we never discovered their significance, if any...
Home for a listen to today's purchases...
..whilst enjoying Kaffee und Kuchen...
Later, we ventured forth again, walking back up this morning's route to the Karlsplatz and the old botanical gardens...
..and its in the middle of being renovated, Art Pavilion...
The sign above the door advises "art is not a luxury"...
A stein of beer is though, kind of...
...when shared in an almost empty early evening beer garden...
...watched over by the security services...
Then to the Kunstlerhaus for an exhibition of works...
...by an artist who would probably have liked this wee man...
...Salvador Dali...
No pics from the main rooms, which displayed an enormous amount of work which I'd never seen before, in the main, illustrations for books...
In an adjoining building, we enjoyed various prints...
...before stepping back out into the much improved weather...
...with the sun shining through the fountains at Karlsplatz...
...and on the still crowded Neuhauserstrasse...
We retraced our steps from this morning...
...and found Marienplatz under much better light...
Home via the Viktualienmarkt and a seafood based tea, in the gathering dusk...
...for beers on the balcony...
..and a ctach up with the internet to the sounds of Nina Hagen...
..and some tasty chamber music...
Lights out...
Highlight of the Day : Finding my old abode...
