4 Days in Schwabing, Munich, Germany, with Via and Ernie (January/ February 2024)

Annette and I spent 4 nights in Munich. More specifically, we were in Schwabing.We stayed in the townhouse of Chris and Cornelia and took care of our grandchildren Viatrix and Ernst, while Chris and Cornelia went to Rome. We arrived on January 28, 2024 and left on February 1.

Arriving on Sunday January 28, 2024

Munich - beer!





Bavarian International School

During the day, Viatrix and Ernst were at school, which is about 1 mile away on Leopoldstrasse.


At School in the Library


Krapfen

On the way back from school, sometimes by tram (just 2 stops), Via and Ernie would like to stop for a Krapfen (donut).


Taking the Tram


Weinbauer in Schwabing

The first evening alone with the kids we went to dinner at Weinbauer, a traditional Bavarian beer tavern. I had an excellent Weissburgunder from Franken, the only German wine region which is in Bavaria.











Tantris

Tantris, the legendary restaurant, where German Nouvelle Cuisine was borne 50 years ago, is very close to the school of Viatrix and Ernst.




Felix Haibach

Annette's friend Felix Haibach came by for a drink and joined us for dinner.



Sushi at Fuikaiten

At the request of Ernie, one evening we had dinner at a Japanese restaurant ("running sushi").






Werneckhof Sigi Schelling

Chef Sigi Schelling, who for many years was the #2 at the Tantris, recently opened her own restaurant in Schwabing. 1 star Michelin. On our "to do list".

Last Evening: Salmon at Home
