One of the advantage of living in Munich is that it doesn’t take us long to drive to Italy so we occationally do it over long weekends. In German there is even a saying that, Munich is the Northern most part of Italy and Milan is the Southern most part of Germany, meaning that Munich or Bavaria has quite a strong connection to Italy, and the other way around.

We love coming down for skiing in the winter and for some city trips during summer time because the weather is always nicer and the foods are always better in the South ;-).

Juliet, some parts of the statue seem to be more interesting to touch than others

Moving is tough. Unpacking is even tougher. We kind of needed a break so two weeks after we moved to Munich, we sneaked out for a week of skiing in South Tirol, Italy ;-).
