After Dachau, i made the smart move of joining the beer crawl, but i had to stay true to the motto of my trip so far: when in Paris...drink wine and eat cheese at the Sacre coeur, When in Belgium...waffles, beer, chocolate and Tintin, when in Amsterdam...well you know, When in Munich.....BEER HALLS and BEER GARDENS!

Went to the Hofbrauhaus which is more touristy but a necessary visit. Also the Augustiner Keller, the largest inner city beer garden in the world and the Lowenbrau Brewery. Steins only of course. The beer all throughout central europe is so clean and pure and preservative free that it tastes fantastic and you never get a hangover.
So I fixed my sore throat by drinking litres and litres of beer! Huzzah!

And now Ive moved on to Venice where the temperature rose considerably, and will most likely stay above 35 until i get back to paris in early october.

Venice is obviously a beautiful city. With the heat we decided to go in early (staying out of the city in a camp ground next to the airport... How's the serenity?)

6 of us had the obligatory gondola ride in the morning before it became too hot or expensive. There was no need or point using a map in Venice because its inevitable youll get lost. There are signs to the few major piazzas everywhere which guide you through the stalls selling Venetian glass and Venetian Masks.

The Main Piazza is justly famous and the view from the Bell tower opposite the basilica is incredible. Some (well a lot really, i dont want to lie too much) photos
will eventually be put up.

However it is really just too hot to stay around for more than 5 or 6 hours in the city, so after some incredibly delicious gelati, we returned to the air conditioned rooms and pool at the campground.
