    Munich, Linderhof & Oberammegau Barvaria

    December 4, 2018 in Germany ⋅ 🌧 8 °C

    It’s go time....wake up call at 6:30am and hit the ground running. The bus was ready to leave at 8:15am and we had a local tour guide for about 1.5 hours. Cari said it was an ugly city, mostly concrete and of course the weather didn’t help. It was cool and clear. We toured around the city listening to interesting and non interesting facts. We went to a huge Nyphenberg Palace which covered mile in length. And belonged to Ludwig I.

    Olympic arena
    Hitter headquarters had been been converted to a music school. We only had 1.5 hours at the Marienplatz Center for shopping, eating lunch and watching the glocknspiel. Once the bus tour was over it started raining. We decided to start with Ghulwine one strawberry and one peach. The drink was e4, with a deposit of e4. Every vendor had a different mug they used. We returned ours!
    Lunch at Piazza Maria bacon cheeseburger , Cari asked for mustard and she had no idea what it was. They only had ketchup and a bottle pome Frits sauce but looked like mayo. Fried goat cheese triangles and mixed green salad yummy 😋
    Back to the bus for our journey to Linderhof which was 1.5 hours away. Cari took a nice little nap. As we got closer the weather became worse and by the time we reached our designation it was cold and raining.
    As we waited for our tour time it started snowing....and by the time we left the mountains were dusted with snow. Pretty cool to see!

    she responded: How much?? Hahaha. We didn’t have much time to look around, but very cute village. The air was wintery crisp.
