We also a naked old man walking in the English Garden, is he always there? That was last week and the weather was not really that warm.

We were in Munich last week, planning on staying at the Hotel Acanthus, which had pretty good reviews. We stayed one night --- hated the area, hated the claustrophobic room, and the staff was aloof and unhelpful. We switched to the Uhland Hotel, with it's spacious, light-filled rooms, and it's personable and friendly staff. No contest.

Getting a hotel for this year's O'Fest?
We alway make our resrvations one year in advance, as we're checking out.
