Diane and I now have a dog here that wants to be run in the morning. In the early afternoon there is a small trip to the Isar for the first timeand later eating for the first time, around 5 p.m. Once we were in the climbing garden in Buchenhain.

Otherwise, my structure also includes reading the newspaper in the morning. ”

And then he also raves about Munich - that he is bound to the Bavarian capital because he ca n't go to Italy with his Luxembourgian friend Diane Schumacher (see below) is probably not that wild for him. "Munich is the closest city to me, it is not Milan, Rome or Berlin." He was particularly impressed by the residents.
Messner then has one wish, as he laughs to understand: a hairdressing appointment ! "True, it has become a lot. But they also grow quickly. Please open the hairdressing salons, I need an appointment in a hurry! "
