May Dult


One of Munich's charming markets is the Auer Dult which takes place three times a year. The first one of the year is the May Dult.


From the stairs of the Mariahilfkirche (Mary Help Church) you have a good overview over the booths selling tableware, pottery, and other household accessories.


There's also an area with some fairground rides and food booths.


Do you see the portrait of King Ludwig II on the soup bowl on the right bottom?


Some lovely handmade garden figures -- dwarfs, cats and some yummy strawberries.


A detail of a beautiful bowl.


The bumper car ride.


Lots of dolls.


Stands in this alley offer antique things. If you look closely, you can make out a baby doll on the right side.


This baby doll -- it would give me nightmares if I had it at home...


Time for a lecture in Bavarian! I mog di means I like you (or in German Ich mag dich).


A sweet-looking red robot.


Isn't that antique lace umbrella just beautiful?


You can also hunt for clothes -- lots of colors and patterns.


The trees have wonderfully green leaves now -- spring has really come to Munich!

Spring is finally here


Spring took its time this year. All the more -- welcome spring!


I love the colorful spring flowers.


Cape daisies.


Our neighbors' beautiful cherry tree.


Happy spring!
