Schlaraffenland


Just a few days in Munich and I fill the days with revisiting the museums.  The Dutch collection in the Alte Pinakothek is famous and so is Pieter Bruegel the Elder's "Land of Cockaigne" (1567)
for Germans well known by the brother Grimms fairytale called "Schlaraffenland".


The food display in the butchershops and then the open restaurants at every corner is similar to the situation of a fairytale. Have to keep to our New Years resolves!
