Dear oh my, what a day! We woke up early, and the Swan Whisperer said he felt a lot better. Nina and her family came to pick us up shortly after 10:30, and we went out and saw lots of the sights of Munich, including a trip up the Tower of the Town Hall, from which you had a terrifric view all over Munich. We also visited the Hofbrauhaus, but only to have a look and spend a penny as it is expensive and I'm told the food is not very good. We went across the road to eat Weisswurst!
The SW had some dental work done on Wednesday before we left - he had lost a filling and there was an abcess under it, which he didn't know was there. The dentist cleaned it out and put on a temporary filling, but obviously didn't do a very good job, as first it was very sore and then this last two days his cheek swelled up to the point he could barely open his mouth. So Nina kindly found a 24-hour emergency dentist and we spent an hour there waiting while he had it seen to - the dentist removed the filling and has prescribed antibiotics. They gave us a list of open-on-Sunday chemists where we got the prescription filled - he had to pay for that, but the dental treatment was covered by the EHIC card - thank goodness I got them renewed before this holiday!
After this, we went to the Olympic Park and walked round there - the weather, I should have said, is simply glorious - and then out to a castle in the suburbs where there was a beer garden, but you could take your own food. But it was fairly obvious that the SW had Had Enough by then, so Nina drove us back to the hotel. Nevertheless, it has been a lovely day, and we can stop worrying about the SW, I think. The bug is all but gone, and now we know the tooth will be all right... we can head on towards the Czech Republic with light hearts.
