On December 24 at 2 pm ALL of the stores closed for Christmas, so we’ve spent a lot of time window shopping.  Most of the restaurants and cafes are open though.  Each day we head out around 10 am, walk a few miles around the Altstadt and then head into a small restaurant for lunch.  We stroll some more and then run into a cafe for a hot chocolate and then it’s nap time.  It is vacation after all.

After resting we head back out for our evening walk.  We do a little more window shopping in all of the closed stores and then head to dinner, usually in a place we had staked out earlier in the day.  That pretty much sums up our time in Munich so far.   Relaxed, low key and slow.
