Steins and Shot Glass Collection

My husband and I are avid collectors of Beer Stein and Shot Glass. We always make it a point to buy any or both of the glass souvenirs when we visit other countries. We both do not mind buying both of varying designs as long as it is colorful, unique looking and indicates the country where we bought them from.

Germany is famous for Oktoberfest and when there are drinks, beer glass, beer steins and even shot glass abounds. Our last visit to Munich, Germany was exciting as far as our Beer Glass and Stein hunt went. The area near the Glockenspiel were lined up with souvenir shops. They were all selling various designs of Beer Steins and shot glasses. The steins were so beautiful. We loved the big ones but were a bit adamant to get them because they might break. We settled for the miniature steins and medium-sized beer steins because they were easy to pack and bring home. We bought so many and decided to keep half of the purchase for our collection. The others were given off as gifts to families and friends.

We are looking forward to go back there and enjoy the beautiful sceneries and hoard on more lovely and unique shot glasses and beer steins again.

Back Home

We're all back! It takes so much to say this but, "it's good to be home." The trip to Munich, Germany and Milan and Rome in Italy is worth taking and every money spent because we have had a good time.

Munich, Germany is such an amazing place to visit. I love the weather prior to the change of season. It was cool and breezy even at noon but quite cold at night as the temperature dipped to 15 degrees Celsius which for us was already cold (considering the weather here in Dubai, anything below 18 degrees Celsius is considered cold!). We joined the Hop-On Hop-Off city tour bus so we saw much of what Munich has to offer in a day. I'll be posting pictures here later.

Our stay at Milan was just 2 days and had limited time to roam around. We went to the Duomo (Mariae Nascenti church) and the Vitorio Emanuele Galeria which housed the luxurious boutiques. We posed at some of the statues around the area like Leonardo Da Vinci's and Parini's.

Roma...the glorious city of Italia. I love this place a lot. We walked around to reach the various scenic and famous tourist spots of Rome. The weather was hot and humid just like that of Dubai. I had an instant tan!

All in all, the vacation was great and we will surely be back in Europe. We are eyeing Greece before our visa expires this November... or Venice...or Vienna...or Amsterdam. We're still undecided as we will plan this when the long Eid holidays come. Ciao!
