My visit to Munich, Germany


In Munich, Germany.

An overnight at the Holiday Inn in Munich was much needed. Within walking distance from the hotel was access to the underground train system.

But before the night activity of Munich could be experienced, a humbling and sombre site was first visited- The Auschwitz Concentration Camp. It was the largest of the concentration camps. A guided tour through the concentration camp brought tears to my eyes. To be in the cells and see the pictures of torture the Jewish people experienced there was heart wrenching and made it feel so "real".  I could not bring myself to take photographs of the camp, out of respect for the people who suffered there. 

And on that note, we got back onto our coach, travelled to our hotel, freshened up and took the train to the city of Munich. The popular, Hofbrauhaus- their local pub is a must to experience.


The Hofbrauhaus

The Hofbrauhaus has a festive vibe present. Jugs of beer are ordered in their dozens. The common bands provided the entertainment as people sat on the bunks in their groups eating, but mostly guzzling down what Germany is known for its beer.

After getting a feel of the vibe in the Hofbrauhaus, a stroll through the bustling city took place.
