'Olga

A few Holga snaps I took last summer, try to guess where they were taken....









Munich! Even though I went early this year I still remember the city quite clearly. Here are my top 3 places to go...

1. HofbrÀuhaus beer hall, it was like a British pub but a hundred times louder, a hundred times bigger and a hundred times more thrilling with the added bonus of a brass band clad in Lederhosen serenading the tipsy tourists.

2. Englischer Garten (The English Garden), A perfect place to while away the hours. Consisting of several areas to bathe and drink more beer (surprise surprise). Even though the Chinese tower looks tacky (anything Asian out of Asia always is) you can get enormous pretzels nearby the size of your head - perfect for a quick Brunch or something to soak up the beer.

3. Dachau concentration camp. Not a conventional holiday destination, but to prevent the repetition of history, one must respect the past (I wish I could express those sentiments in a less cheesy and cliched manner while still being sincere). Dachau is very ordered, very white and very peaceful, a world away from the chaos which awaited the multitude of political prisoners who met their demise here. A very humbling experience.
