This place is fantastic. Firstly, it is massive. Secondly, the main beer comes in massive 1 litre glasses. Thirdly, the atmosphere is brilliant. They have a band that plays Bavarian drinking songs. I could have sat there all night drinking the beer. The little video shows just a snapshot of what its like.

I'm in Munich today seeing some clients and contacts. I've flown from Birmingham and landed about 10 minutes ago. Here's the plane I flew on, the smallest jet I've been on for ages.

I have never been to any part of Germany before and so looking forward to the day and the experience.
