It was a quiet day for us in Munich - after a 3-hour lackluster "free" Sandemann's walking tour of the city (do Rick Steves' instead), we went back to the English Garden.
Munich's Englischer Garten
The park's Monopteros was completed in 1836

The Chinesischer Turm is probably the most famous beer garden in Munich
Enjoying a beer and large pretzel at the Chinese Tower beer garden in Munich's English Garden is a classic German experience
As usual, my most adventurous child Chris dragged me up another church tower (or maybe it's the other way around) - Peterskirche Turmbesteigung. St. Peter's Church, from 1180, is the oldest in Munich.
Chris and I climbed 306 steps to the top for the best view over the city.
It happened to be 5pm which means for the second time today we found ourselves watching the dancing figurines of the Marienplatz's glockenspiel.
