Sunday night we went back out to Oktoberfest, once Tim figured out what time/day it was (hahahaha), to get some grub. I had a baked potato and Tim had a bratwurst. We wandered, picked up some souvenirs, tried to get some good pictures of the lederhosen (men’s traditional leather pants) and dirndl’s (women’s traditional dresses), and then headed back to the hotel. If we waited any longer Tim would have tried to sit down and enjoy another Liter of beer.
Monday morning we woke up early again (our bodies have not fully adjusted to the time change). We got ready & packed. We had one more night in Munich, but at a different hotel, so we checked out of the hotel, checked our bags and went on to Marienplatz. It’s an old area of Munich with lots of history. We took a walking tour of Munich (in English), it’s free but you tip the guide at the end. I’m really glad we did this tour; our guide gave us lots of information we wouldn’t have known otherwise. We saw many of the must-sees in downtown/old Munich and afterward decided to go eat & have some beer at the world famous Haufbrauhaus. Three people from the tour joined us at our table. They were from the D.C. area. It is always nice to chat with people who speak English. Afterwards we had to go back and pick up our bags from the old hotel and check into our new hotel/hostel. This took us a bit and after we checked in we had to, once again, head out to find something to eat. We were in different part of Munich and food options were sparse, we wound up at the train station where Tim had a Doner Kabob and I had McDonald’s. Then we were off to the hotel to call it a night.
