Today we have breakfast and then we have to get our luggage from Citadines (where we last stayed in Munich). The plan is to get some cabs the boys will drop us off at our new hotel with our luggage then they will go over to Citadines to get the rest of our luggage that we left behind. While they are doing that we can go and sort out getting the train to Frankfurt on Wednesday. I cannot believe it but our plan went to plan. Danos and Liz stayed at the hotel to try and sort out their passports which we havn't had since Venice. Anyway all good our rooms are ready early, the passports arrive, the girls find out about the train to Frankfurt. All this achieved by 12 o'clock. We decide to go to Dachau ( Di doesn't come as she has been there before). It was a great thing to do. Our guide Eric who is American but had lived in Germany for over 3o years was great and really knew his stuff. The tour was very emotional,it was an overcast, freezing cold and sometimes rainy day which suited the subject perfectly. It is still unbelievable that human beings can do such inhumane things to one another. I think it was good to have an American as a guide as we were able to ask him how the Germans feel about this history. Could not believe how many camps there were and how many were just extermination camps which mostly Jews were sent to and some were basically labour camps but the people that died not just through extermination but just through illness and neglect is unbelievable. After this very interesting afternoon which took about 5 hrs we of course needed a drink. We had already arranged to meet Rebecca (a kiwi we met on our bus trip) she is 31 and traveling by herself, she likes a drink so has hung out with us at night. She works on a charter boat that goes all around the place. Also I forgot to mention that Richard an older British man on our trip came up and told us that he was sorry he wanted to
Propose a toast to "you Aussies, the trip would have been nowhere near as good without you guys, you are great fun and we are so pleased you were on our trip. Tonight we have gone to Augustiner-beer hall with Rebecca that was recommended by our guide at Dachau. He said he only moved to Germany because of the beer. We had a great time at dinner then called into a bar on the way home we stayed there till 2.00 a.m. They were using a laptop to do the music so I played DJ, I also poured a beer from the tap. A good night.

Have to mention all the bikes that are chained up in Munich. They all look old and they don't seem to ever move. We came to the conclusion that visitors buys them and just leave them when they return home. I did take a picture of just one place with hundreds of bikes.
