Munich & Dachau

Do not have much time to blog tonight, so I will try to keep this short. Today, we woke up but kind of got a late start, so we almost missed our Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Tour. Seriously, we were JUST on time. We were technically even 15 minutes late, actually, but they didnt leave until 1105, so that was lucky for us.

Anyway, today our trip was to the Dachau Concentration Camp site, the only concentration camp to have been around during the entire Third Reich. The trip out there took 45 minutes and we got there. The tour was very depressing, as one might expect. Dont know what else to say about that. It was a very depressing tour. Walked through the gas chamber they had there. Saw crematoriums. Saw where they wold punished people. A lot of really heavy stuff over all.

Also, it was an incredibly hot an sunny day and we did not realize that this place did not have vending machines (or food on that matter), so when we came back at almost four, we were all very dehydrated. Yeah, dumb move on our parts.

Anyway, the trip back was a lot shorter because we took a different train back. We got in around 4 pm and went to look for some place to drink something and some place to eat. Our tour guide recommended a nearby beer hall and Andrew had been whining to go to one the entire time we have been in Germany. So we went to one with Mia purchasing a Germany jersey along the way. Of course, they were closed and not selling food at the moment, but we rehydrated and continued our search of a place that had food. We settled on a kebab place and ate there.

After that, we went back through the train station in search of a Citibank to go to before we left Western Europe. We found it and got money, but it didnt let us draw that much, so we are going to have to go back out to get more.

We headed back to the Tent, played a couple of rounds of Machiavelli and then put in one last load of laundry before we left this hostel. We have been hanging out here ever since. Gianni and Mia are teaching people how to play Machiavelli and I think Andrew is helping them. We have an early train tomorrow, so we also have to get all of our stuff packed up so we dont miss the train and throw me into some sort of panic. Yeah, that would be bad.

Thats about it for today. Will be posting next from Hungary!
