Munich tips

Watch the river surfers in the English garten. Its not bondi but thus is what you can do without a beach

Viktualienmarkt to hang out graze on food and watch the people.

Food tour was fun. Taste whiskey from Switzerland,  multiple varieties of mustard and plump gherkins

Walk in English Garten it is a big park

Eat pretzels

The Larder for delicious breakfast. Sadly you can't book if you are one person.
