A rather grey, cold, and rainy day in Munich. We decided to check out the inside of Nymphenburg Palace to see where our pal Ludwig II was born. Then we had a very hearty and warming lunch at the palace cafe. We were delighted to pick up a copy of Miroslav Šašek’s book “München” with its charming 60’s illustrations of Bavaria! ❤️
It’s 8:15am; we’ve been travelling for 24hrs; and the Biergarten in Munich Airport is having their birthday party. We can’t check into the hotel for hours, so…. Weisswurst Frühstück!🍻🇩🇪❤️ #wilkommen #muenchen
We missed you, München. ❤️ It feels so strange to think it’s been almost two years since we lived here. It feels like a dream of a different life. We took advantage of the sun and tried to stave off some of the jet lag with a jaunt through the Altstadt, Viktualien Markt, Englischer Garten, and then along the Isar. (Wow, it’s really high from all the recent rain!)

The world’s first Roald Dahl + Vintage Sewing Machine museum is *nearly* open for business! (Another box of Dahl stuff still to unload…) 😅
I had a great time today track hosting at the YOW! Australia Tech Leaders Summit. Thanks to Steffen and the team for inviting me! Great talks, good conversations, and I even got to try on an Apple Vision Pro. (I didn’t turn it on; I just took a selfie. 😂🥽)
Civic duty complete! (We’ll be away on Saturday so we had to vote early.) After confirming my name and address, the poll worker handed over my ballot. “Is that an American accent?” he said, chuckling. “Our elections are a little different. For example, we actually try to HELP you to vote!” 😬 He’s not wrong. We were in and out in less than 10 minutes, and I didn’t even need to show ID. #democracy 🇦🇺
