Dachau Concentration Camp

Breakfast at McDonald's was rather pathetic because the burgers were actually very small! I had the Bacon & Egg Muffin while Dawn had the McGirdle. I thought Germans loved potatoes but McDonald's here don't even serve Harsh Browns!!??!! We requested to change our normal coffee to cappuccino for our breakfast sets.

We went to the train …

Thissss weeekend we went to...MUNICH! It was a great time! We got to see some amazing things like the Glockenspiel am Rathausturm, which had a really cool show that we were pretty over enthused about...it was some sort of robot situation but they danced and jousted and it was pretty cool for 12 minutes.
We didn't get checked on our way over …

For the first few days of Easter Holidays we went to Munich! Even though it's part of Germany, the food, the accent and even the city itself were very different from what I experienced in Berlin. While Berlin had only apartment buildings and flats, Munich had a lot more houses with gardens and yards. There were lots of small parks and shopping …

Today I went to the Dachau concentration camp with the Cebulj family! (Owners of the hotel I was staying at) It was pretty much what I expected to see. There were concrete foundations filled with gravel where the barracks used to be, and two replica buildings to show what the barracks would of looked like. The maintenance building had been …

Petit arrêt à Munich pour rencontrer Adi et tant qu'à être dans le coin et au bon moment de l'année, pourquoi ne pas passer prendre une bière durant l'Oktoberfest! Je crois qu'on peut décrire l'Oktoberfest sans trop se tromper comme un grand parc d'attraction dont l'alcool est un des principaux manèges! Malheureusement pour nous, …

Today we arrived in Munich. The plane ride was smooth. Upon landing and
collecting our luggage (we checked a carry on and a suitcase for our 4
days away from home), we found the S-Bahn and paid the €52 for the
public transportation while in Munich. Much of my money spent thus far
has been food and transportation... We get …

Well the day started early as we left Prague on a 7:00 am flight and landed in Munich at 8:00 am. After we checked in we decided to spend the day at Dachau. It was a very interesting place and a day spent walking around and reading about the horrors of the time.

After that, we went into the city and saw some of the pleasantries of Munich …

***ATTENTION***

Friends, family and coworkers: this blog post will focus on Dachau, which was a Nazi concentration camp used during World War II. The commentary and pictures associated with this post are frankly disturbing and I want to be up front about that in case anyone would prefer to skip this one. There are no pictures outright …

We had our city tour the first day. The guide got us beer and had a cute little dog. That night we went to the Hofbrauhaus for some Germany food. It was quite noisy and the service was incredibly slow as we had one server for like forty two people. The food was okay, butnotjing special. It's worth a one time visit. Afterward with a full belly we …

Before going to Munich, we stopped in a town called Sankt Johannes in Austria... It was very beautiful!

AND before we go to Munich haha we stopped at the Dachau Concentration camp... It was very eye-opening... I won't go into much detail.. But there were the ovens, the beds, the gas chambers etc... It was amazing but creepy at the same …

I do not find it appropriate to combine a visit to a concentration camp with a trip to Munich in one log. I apologize for all the updated e-mails you all are getting. I chose to see Dachau in the winter because the snow and gray sky fit nicely with ...

... , all meals were FREE!!!! Me and Mary decided to check out this concentration camp museum which is called the Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial. I love learning about the time when Hitler was trying to take over and there were all of these ...

... These surely must be signs that we should look for the nearest beer garden.  We rode the train to Dachau and went to see the concentration camp; something I think every living person should do.  It will help your perspective on life although it ...

On our second full day in Munich, we went to Dachau Concentration Camp, which is located in Dachau town, about 30 minutes outside of Munich. According to our guide, Hitler originally opened Dachau to house people who were verbal in their disagreement ...

Today was a day filled with two contrasting places. Our day began with a trip to the Dachau concentration camp in Dachau, Germanz. It was a very worthwhile trip. We rented audioguides so as to get the most out of our visit. There were personal ...
