Had a very nice breakfast at the Ibis hotel in Munich's west end. Included scrambled eggs and bacon!
Headed to the NazI concentration camp of Dachau. Was very sobering. Especially since today is Memorial Day. We remember all who sacrificed. Two US Army units helped liberate the camp on April 29, 1945, just days before the war in Europe ended - the 42nd infantry Division and the 2nd Armored Division.
We headed into Munich for a walking tour. Arrived at the Marienplatz just in time to see the Glockenspiel play. Still cute.
Lunch was at the biggest beer hall in the world, the Hofbreu House. Adult beverages were sampled by only us 2 adults who like beer.
A little free time then we joined the group for a bus tour of other parts of Munich. Dinner was at another beer hall where we had a pork ragout I guess with steamed vegetables. Dessert was a cherry compote with Bavarian cream swirled in the center. Many went back to the hotel to pack for our departure tomorrow to see two of Mad King Ludwig's marvelous castles then into Innsbruck.
Today was really warm, about 85, with some light wind and very dry.
Not as many tourists so I presume the locals went back to work....
