Last Day in Europe

We visited Dachau Concentration Camp. It was the first and served as a model for the other camps. Dachau opened 80 years ago (almost to the day), very soon after Hitler came to power. It was built for political prisoners--anyone against the Nazi's. At least 32,000 people (those documented) died there during Hitler's time. Dachau has been turned into a museum. We watched a 30 minute movie and then spent time in the museum building and walking around the grounds. It was a sobering, sad and deep visit.



After lunch we drove into Munich. We walked by the famous Hofbrauhaus, built 400 years ago for gathering, socializing and drinking beer (we did not partake of the latter).

At 14:00 we had a bus tour of Munich and then a walking tour of the Marienplatz, the city center that combined a large square, stores, and very old buildings. It certainly has its own character. The photo below is of city hall, built just over 100 years ago but was designed to look like 100's of years old.



We had free time, last time for souvenirs! Our dinner was in downtown Munich, in a restaurant on the 7th floor of a department store with amazing views of the city.

We returned to the hotel to pack and prepare for our 5:00am wake up call.

We had a wonderful trip and can't wait to see you. Thank you so much for your support and prayers!
