Munching in München

It may be cold, it may be snowy but it seems that nothing will stop the good citizens of Munich from enjoying al fresco beer and sausages - and who are we to disagree with that! Munich has been a two day sausage and beer fest, with an honourable mention for the fantastic fried doughnut that I had in the Englischer Garten beer-garden. It was helped over the weekend by the presence of a few thousand Schalke 04 fans who were in town for the table-topping Bundesliga clash with Bayern, and who were singing and drinking everywhere all over town - making for a really good atmosphere.

Apart from all the food and drink here, we´ve also had time to be overwhelmed by the amount of world cup tat on display - in particular the most ludicrous ever world cup mascot, Goleo 06, "a talking and thinking mascot with his own opinions" !?! For anyone not yet aware of his existence, see here:
