When we got to the town of Fussen the bike place was closed. The owner happened to be dropping by so we asked him if we could rent. He was super nice and let us rent. We biked back to where we saw some camping. The weather was beautiful, almost perfect. We were in Bavaria, the Alps were next to our camp. The castles were lit up at dark. We set up camp, then went back out to look for food, finding a Spar (grocery store). Burger joint closed one minute before we arrived at 2200. Ate in tent. Nice night, but then....the rain came in during the night. It rained for hours. By the time we got up at 8:30, things were VERY wet. My money belt was soaking in a puddle. We packed up. The camp had warm showers and a Laundromat. We cleaned up and washed all of our clothes. Then we biked to Fussen in the rain. Caught train to Munich. We quickly found a hotel, the one in the book was full. Then we quickly worked our way to the “S” and found the train to Dachau. The concentration camp was worth a visit. We watched a video in a packed theater. It didn’t hold back. The pictures were shocking. Imagine several hundred people watching the film and you could hear a pin drop. This evening we walked around town then went to the hotel for a relaxing evening of watching German TV.
In the morning we took our packs to the train station. Now we were free to sightsee. We did Munich in a big circle. We bought a camping stove in a giant outdoor store. Rachelle bought and sent a Cuckoo clock to her grandpa.
