Ich bin ein Münchner

… And you may find yourself in another part of the world …
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house …
And you may ask yourself, “Well, how did I get here?”

A Canadian College / Gymnastics friend has lived in Munich for decades. He runs his own health Club called AJs Fitness.

While I was fading on my Norway cycling adventure, AJ offered to have me house sit while he and his husband were gone for vacation. I jumped at the chance.

Great location close to the edge of the city. Hot tub. Fancy coffee machine.

Paradise. 🙏

House sitting was a terrific break from weeks cycling Norway. And I then used Munich as a base for cycling and hiking trips.

I had the Deutschlandticket — 49-Euro / Month for all regional and municipal transportation. Brilliant.

Munich is a fantastic tourist city, of course. I cycled all over town.

At the start, Claudia was my tour guide.

Munich has a lot of green space.

Nymphenburg Palace Park, for example.

Sadly, no bicycles allowed in the park.

My favourite destination for cycling was the Isar river. Especially where it flows through English Garden (Englischer Garten).

The 1972 Olympic venue is terrific, as well.

I’ll be back. AJ and Darin are storing my bike and gear until my return summer 2024.

Thanks guys!

I’m already looking forward to my return to Munich.
