Munich (Germany)
Got up really early, got the rental car and some cash. Had lunch (Burger King) and then left Ramstein (1115). Kurt brought the hand-held GPS (luckily) and we had fun watching our slow ground speed (the little Corsa has trouble on the hills...). No problems getting to Munich - we drove on the Autobahn (we were not fast, though). Arrived around 1800. As I was driving in the city, I knew it was another one of those unbelievable moments and I said to myself "I can't believe I am really here!" We checked into a little hotel and then went to have some dinner in the (famous) Hoffbrau House. We sat at long tables on benches, ate bratwurst and sang songs with the locals while holding HUGE mugs! I can't imagine what would possess Hitler to want to do anything other than enjoy all of this... Kurt and I wandered around to several bars until well after midnight. He stayed out, in fact, until nearly morning...
