Christmas Getaway: Germany Day 6 (Munich)

Today we had tickets on the Munich hop on hop off bus tour. It had a much smaller loop, in fact there were two of them. We went on the express route, which took us past lots of the lovely galleries and monuments! There are an awful lot of art galleries in Munich. We did half the loop, up to stop 5, which was the Deutsches Museum.

It's a design and technology museum, and it's fantastic! We managed to skip the queue by buying our tickets online, which was very helpful as the queue was very long and it was cold outside. We split up and spent about an hour exploring the first few floors before reuniting at the restaurant for lunch (more sausages!), then splitting up again for another hour. We could have spent another few hours at least, especially if we could actually read the German captions!

After that we got back on the bus and finished the loop, heading back to central station. Then we had a browse for fabric (none found, unfortunately) and picked up Dads shoes which were in to get fixed for the day, before heading back to the hotel to rest up. Then we headed out for another leisurely beer hall dinner - only tonight I had venison bolognese, which was excellent! Then more apple fritters, and back to go to bed.

Tomorrow is the castle tour so is a very long day. It’s a 10hr tour, starting at 8:30!
