Tour Day in Munich

We got up early because we were meeting Linda around 10 a.m. Just as we were checking into our new hotel, in walks Linda. She had a long flight. Indy to Atlanta, a seveh hour layover and then on to Munich. She then had to take the train from the airport to the center of the city. Our hotel is right across the street so it was easy to find. By the way, if I misspell words it is because the keyboard is different than in the U.S. I also do not have access to a USB port so cannot upload any pictures.

We took a 2 and a half hour tour of Munich by bus. We first took the short tour with 6 stops but because we bought the 9 stop tour, we took the 1-6 stop tour twice. Having your own tour guide is so much better than these mass tours. We drove by the Olympic village but could see very little. We also saw the BMW headquarters that they call BMW World. After the tour, we walked around a huge shopping area in the middle of all the historic buildings. It was fun to shop. I had to buy another suitcase so I can have room to bring home all my purchases. Don't get worried, Pat, I have been conservative.

Tomorrow we will be gone all day to see two castles in Bavaria. One of them is the castle that served as the model for the castle at Disney World. Then tomorrow night we take the night train to Bremen. We all have beds for sleeping. I am anxious to see what that is like. Right now mzy biggest concern is finding the correct platform. The train station is massive; nothing like any train station I have ever seen.

It is time for bed. Sleep tight.
