An Ex Insider’s Guide to Munich (and surrounds) with Kids
I get a lot of emails asking for advice on what to see in Munich, so I thought it might be useful to keep an expanding list here, in the hope that it helps others plan their trips (I made it a “what to do and see in Munich with Kids” type post, as […]

No “Back Home” – Munich
At the weekend…. That short introductory sentence always makes me laugh. Journal writing on a Monday morning with a bunch of 5 year olds can reveal some hilarious stuff, corkers from my children’s weekend journals at a similar age include “At the weekend, we bought a pet snake called Adrian (we hadn’t)” to […]
