Europe: Part 2- Munich


We took the night train to Munchen (Munich), Germany and arrived in a calmer, more relaxed city. We both liked it better than Paris right away. I was very excited to see the puppets in the old puppet theater but it was closed. I wanted to see the old clock tower with the carved dolls that come out like a cuckoo clock but it was under construction. Still, we liked the slower pace here and the old buildings. The food here was the best though. I really enjoyed the sausages and saurkraut, especially since the rest of Europe apparently only eats sandwiches. The light was especially beautiful in Munich and we liked walking in the parks.

We also took a trip to Dachau, the first concentration camp, just 20 minutes away by train. It was very cold and windy and it was sad to read about all the terrible things that happened in the camps.
Still, we really liked Munich and would like to go back to Germany again some day. After this, another night train to Amsterdam!
