A visit from Amandine!

Hey hey! Amandine finally managed to come visit me in Muenchen! We had caught up during my most recent London sojourn, and she had mentioned that she would like to acquire a dirndl. Luckily for her, Nestor and Augusto mentioned that they would likely be attending a volksfest on the weekend she was coming over so not only did she get to buy one, but she got to wear one in a genuine tracht setting!
Two cute Asiatins in dirndln! We ordered weissbier thinking it would be a half litre. We were wrong. I think it hurt Amandine.

Mmmm, bierfest chicken. 

Because the heat and pollen were playing havoc with us, a mutual decision was made to reconvene in a bar in the city
Which is how we ended up taking this duckface selfie in Eat the Rich.

The next day, we headed to the Kunstreal and had a look at the Museum Brandhorts and Alte Pinakothek, but before that we had breakfast a cafe nearby.
Amandine had previously said that she loved weisswurst but declined to have the weissbier that usually goes with it.

I had the special which was basically a protein bomb that could have fed two less hungry people. Smoked salmon, rare roast beef, bread basket, fruit salad...definitely coming back for that.

And it also came with a glass of orange juice!

Alas, it was a short trip but always good to have you around, Amandine, and feel free to return to use that dirndl at Wiesn/Oktoberfest!
