We have been here for two full days now after a lengthy train trip across France that took us to Strasburg and then into Germany via Stuttgart, Baden Baden and Auschburg before arriving at Munict at 6.30 - exactly on scheduled time of arrival. No time for our usual orientation as we didn't arrive at our hotel, Deutsche Theater until 7.00pm. Only time to find a place to eat and then bed.
The hotel in Munich is part of the original Deutsches Theater
Our first full day we spent on a hugely informative 3+ hour free guide of the city. This just had to be one of the best tours we have managed to find. While it was free, all we had to do was [if we wanted!] to pay a tip to the guide, who gave us a detailed historical account of the early years of the Nazi regime and took us to places that were part of the Hitler call to the Workers Nationalist Socialist Party.
