Munich or München (but why is it FC Bayern Munich in English and not FC Bavaria Munich ? – we need to know) has long been on the bucket list despite around 25 trips to Germany over the years.  Finally I got there as the final stop on my 2018 European tour with a few days to kill before heading back to Dublin.  And of course as the least hipster tourist in the world, my first stop was the Hofbräuhaus.  The world famous beer hall and tourist trap.  And it was magnificent despite the crowds and tourist prices.

Once indoors, it was time to go digital with the lovely Fuji X20.

Many other photos were taken on the Huawei P9, but were drinking selfies which are better not to be shown.
