Munich icicles

About minus 4 Celsius in Munich - cold enough for icicles on this fountain.

Travelled into London and then out to Stansted. Through security and duty-free in under 15 minutes. After arriving in Munich, took the train into the city centre, then walked a slightly circuitous route to my hotel so that I could see a bit of the city.

Went for dinner in a really nice restaurant, Kaefer, in Prinzregentenstrasse. Good to meet up with friends from my hosts, a German software company, plus a long-standing English friend who I first worked with in 2000 - we walked back to the hotel together so that we could have a proper chat (even if it was in sub-zero temperatures).
