GERMANY
For now I am in a holiday humour.
Shakspere, As You Like It,
Act IV, Scene 1, Line 68.
MUNICH:
My introduction to Bavaria was through Salzburg. It was a happy presentation, as few towns can compare with it in situation.
Salzburg is surrounded by mountains with castles on every peak. It was the home of Mozart, and is overflowing with interesting memoirs of that great musician.
Munich is a city of wealth. It is the Mecca for students of art and music and the starting-point for the three wondrous castles built by the Mad King of Bavaria, as well as for Oberammergau. Nestling at the foot of the Austrian Alps, a long chain of mountains may be seen on a clear day, in all its splendor, from the statue of Bavaria. Munich possesses a lion's share of public buildings architecturally notable.
