Munich

We set off to Munich to get our passports done. It took exactly 2 min to be sent off with a litany of excuses. Wrong documents, wrong translations, wrong day, wrong time, wrong reason and with the wrong rhyme! With a whole day ahead of us we decided to explore this wonderful city and it’s […]
