Day 7
Our morning was blessed with clear skies allowing us spectacular last minute views and pictures before leaving Murren and heading back in to Germany to our next stop, Munich!
On our way to Munich we stopped at Lindau Island located on the eastern side of Lake Constance in southern Bavaria. The island is situated between the German, Austrian and Swiss boarders. The island is so close to each country that you can view Austria, Switzerland and the Alps from the island shores. We enjoyed lunch on the island from a local deli, taking our sandwiches to a park to enjoy views of the harbor. After lunch we strolled around town enjoying the island's shops and architecture...and some gelato.
Another bus ride down and we arrived in Munich! After checking into our hotel Nica guided us to the local laundromat for all our mid tour laundry needs. Once we dropped our laundry off we reconvened as a group for a quick orientation walk prior to meeting up with our city guide Kathleen for a tour of the Oktoberfest museum. After our tour we enjoyed a group dinner where one of our fellow tour mates had the honor of tapping our group keg to kick off dinner. The food was excellent and the conversation even better, our first dinner in Munich was one of my fondest memories from our tour...not to mention our trip to the Hofbrauhaus with some fellow tour mates after dinner to round out the night.
