Dachau

This morning we had the same spread of various fruit, bread, cheeses and meats as yesterday, and Ainsley found pancakes. A pack of our bags later, we walked to the opposite side of the train station, where Hertz was located. After securing the keys, it was then another 600m walk to where the parking garage was. Ainsley and Google Maps kept us on track, and 30 minutes later we were at Dachau.


Not a place for a lot of photos. We actually spent about 5 hours on the site. Half away through the museum, Ainsley had a bit of a surprise- she saw Mrs. Deam, her debate coach! The exchange group from the Ames high school had split up for the day, with some of them at Dachau, so it was a surprise for all. As we were at the end of the camp road, we were there for when the bell went off.



After, we had wienersnitchel and fries at the cafe on site as we were both hungry, and it was very tasty. Getting back into the car, the thermostat read 35C. We drove about an hour, to Augsburg where we have a very nice old hotel (wood paneling in the whole room!), and will visit the town in the morning ( as it will be much cooler the, before heading south to Schwangau and Newschweinstein castle.


LL- second time driving on the Autobahn, and I'm again driving a Ford!
