Last day in Munich

Today we repacked the luggage explosion that always appears to happen when we have been in one place for a few days, it is amazing how some well-planned packing can be undone when you have the space to spread out.


I am however, making it sound much worse than it was.  This time packing we needed to get a little smarter as to not cross contaminate.  As we have not had access to a clothes washer since London, we separated the clothes into a dirty suitcase (mine) and clean clothes in Katie's.
When we get to Tuscany our first day will be clothes washing and drying.
Today we thanked our host at Pensione Lindner, in the normal way, with cash, she was of course thankful. Then ventured out to our final chilly Munich morning and on to the underground in the direction of Munich's main station, Hauptbahnhof. 


Here we selected a baggage locker and paid 6euro to store our bags for up to 72 hours. This then allowed us to catch the tram #17 in the direction of Nymphenburg Palace, luggage free.


Nymphenburg Palace was the summer retreat of Munich's past governing family.


The rooms are well decorated, however, I could tell Munich's past may have removed some of the lustre and prized belongings over the years.



Whilst at this palace we also went for a wander through the impressive carriage collection and porcelain museum.


By now it was time to head to the pub and have some German sausage and beer. Katie had her final Munich Wiener Schnitzel.
The weather started to get a little cooler from this point so our previous plans of going for a walk through and around Munich were changed to catching an overpriced and rather dull City Sightseeing Red bus.


After we spent some time at the train station waiting for our train and chasing the elusive Wi-fi signal.



On time our train arrived and we squeezed ourselves into our accommodation and transport for the evening.
