Christmas Getaway: Germany Day 8 (Munich)

Our last full day in Germany (and together, for now) saw us have a little bit of a sleep in before meeting for our now customary breakfast at the train station. No tour today, but it was very cold so we decided to check out a museum first - the NS-Dokumentationszentrum München, or Documentation if Nationalist Socialism museum. It was all about the rise of Nazis in WW2 but through the documentation and paperwork like ads and propaganda. We arrived just before a guided tour started, so we joined that. However in a four floor museum, having been told the tour would take about 90 minutes, we were still on the top floor (where the museum started) after an hour, so we left the tour ad went ahead on our own. After a couple of hours we had done it all and it was interesting to get a different perspective in both place perspective and the different materials to other places we’d visited.

After that, we headed to another beer hall, only this time for lunch. More pork and potato! Then it was time for a walk before heading back to the hotel. Dinner was a nearby Italian restaurant as we were all too stuffed for more native Munich food at dinner after lunch too. Mum and dad wanted to have an early night as they were being picked up for their transfer to the station at 7am the next morning, so we said goodbye and headed for an early evening. We don’t leave Munich until the evening so have time to do one last thing tomorrow before we have to head to the airport for our flight back to London.
