Tuesday we left Innsbruck around 0800 and headed north to Germany.
As we descended the mountains from our hotel we had nice views of the ski jump tower with the city of Innsbruck below.
We made good time and were in Munich about 1000. We were dropped in Marienplatz (Mary's Square), which is the central square in Munich, with instructions to return at 1300 to head back to the bus.
This is June and Matt while walking to the square when someone yelled look out for the dog turd...too funny.
As you enter Marienplatz and make the turn where you can see the New Town Hall it is an overwhelming sight.
The Glockenspiel was scheduled to go off at 1100 so we wandered the square killing time until then.
The Glockenspiel tells a story and is interesting to watch, it lasts about 8 mins, runs 3 times per day and has been doing it for over 100 years.
It has 32 life size figures but they look small up on the tower.
Here is a rather boring video. Glockenspiel
After watching the Glockenspiel, we did our usual, we walked.
We walked to the The Theatine Church of St. Cajetan and Adelaide, just to see it up close. It is huge and can be seen from a distance with it's two towers that are higher than most others in Munich. It was built in the 1600s.
There is much to see in Munich, but we were getting hungry and went back to Marienplatz for lunch.
We ate at Wildmosers Restaurant right below the Glockenspiel, just like June and I did in 2018. The Bratwurst and beer were very good.
It was another day of perfect weather, we have been on the road 2 weeks now and had one day that was cloudy with some drizzle (Venice), 'The weather odds have been ever in our favor'.
After lunch we all made our way back to the bus pick up, for our journey to Bad Durkheim.
We arrived at our hotel and immediately went to dinner, it was 1900.
It turns out that Bad Durkheim is a quaint town. We were full after dinner and had not had our 10,000 steps, so we walked the town. It was very pretty, clean and quiet. We passed a few young people in the park enjoying some weed, just like home.
Wednesday is our last full day on tour, we have two boat excursions planned one in Germany and one in the Netherlands, then we fly home Thursday morning.
