Today was a long day because we drove from Karlsruhe, Germany (where we had spent the night) headed in a southeasterly direction to Munchen (AKA) Munich. We saw much of the Bavarian country side with its beautiful villages. In Munich, we saw the Olympic Stadium and went on a walking tour past Hofbrauhaus. Our guide told us that this was the pub where Hitler's views had took shape. We continued our walking tour to see Marienplatz or plaza with its Glockenspiel (looked like a large clock tower with figures that spin on the hour, only they didn't spin while we were there). After a break, we boarded the bus and headed into the Alps and over the Austrian border to reach the Tyrolean capital of Innsbruck. Before heading to our hotel, our guide took us into the center of town to see the Imperial Palace and the Golden Roof in Old town. The buildings in this section are beautifully decorated with gold leaf and colorful paintings of people. Of course the tour for today wouldn't be complete without 60 minutes of shopping. Ever hear of "Swarovski?" Ve...ry Pricey! Hilton Innsbruck.
