Food was excellent again. We split goulash and pork knuckle then moved on for beers elsewhere. Town was heaving. Far busier now we're into the weekend. Lots more Brits and it started looking a bit fighty at closing time which was a shame. There was a few beer casualties throwing up outside too. Mainly girls, which really isn't a good look.
We ended the night with a stroll by the river to a late night kiosk for a cheeky take out. You're not supposed to drink by the kiosks but everyone does and nobody bats an eyelid. They're really cool places to meet.
Breakfast this morning at the hotel was superb. They even had rollmops, which I had after my cereal and omelette and cooked breakfast. That should set me up for day.
Took a train out to Dachau to visit the concentration camp. Bought a one day train ticket for €12.80. That covered us both (up to 5 people actually) and was also valid for the bus from Dachau train station to the camp. The entire journey only takes about half an hour.
As you'd expect, Dachau concentration camp is incredibly sobering and thought provoking. It really needs a full day to take it all in. We had a good half day and saw enough. The museum, bunker and crematorium are the key areas to visit. There's a huge amount of info to absorb in the museum and a lot of it isn't pretty so be prepared.
The camp is free to enter. Germany will never forget what happened and they don't hide the facts. We learned on our bike tour yesterday that German culture is massively against racism. Kids learn right and wrong from the start and they find racism extremely intolerable.
We left the camp and headed back into town. We jumped off the train at the main station and walked up to Kunstbau to visit a Kraftwerk show. Tonight is the annual night of museums in Munich. I think they're all open all night. Kraftwerk have launched a new installation today so we popped along. Fiver each to get in, or we could have bought a night pass for all museums for €15. It was pretty cool. Huge 3D video projections that play along to their music. We lounged on the floor and stuck around for an hour or so.
Back at hotel now. Catherine grabbing a quick shower before we head back into town. We've had our fill of culture today and now it's beer o'clock!
