Munich and Dachau pictures

Not too many pictures of Munich soley because we rode around on bicycles the whole time and I didn't want to have my camera banging around my neck and possibly break. But I have a few shots, but most of my pictures are from Dachau Concentration Camp, so they're a bit depressing. But anyway hope you find some sort of enjoyment, maybe some more knowlegde!

Munich, Germany

Arrived in Munich, Sunday night on the 10th. Martin and his friend met up with us at the train station and we took it easy and made some food. Next day we took out some bikes to see the city. The river in Munich is the cleanest river I've ever seen in any city; you could actually see the floor. It was a gorgeous day and people sat out by the river and were swimming. We biked along the river into the City Center passing by the Opera House, the Old and New Town Hall, and went up to some tower for a view of Munich. We checked out Hofbräuhaus am Platzl, known as the largest Beer Hall in the world. Since it was such a nice day out, we rode over to the English Garden by some canals and hung out in the beautiful weather. Had a dinner that is popular in Munich that is white asparagus with potatoes and a special sauce; quite tasty! Tuesday, we found a tour to see Dachau Concentration Camp. Quite depressing to see all of the things that happened there. Definitely puts things into perspective when you see it with your own eyes. The place was massive so took a few hours to see everything, including the crematorium. Had a delicious pasta dinner that night and checked out some unusual but very relaxing bars that night. Wednesday we caught our train down to Venice, about 7 to 8 hours. Pictures for past trips coming soon!

Berlin Pictures!

Bare with me, but there is so much history in Berlin, so there are a ton of pictures. Many Third Reich and World War II pictures, hope you enjoy!
