We needed extra sleep this morning. But around noon we arrived at the Dachau concentration camp memorial. Powerful and sad place! Afterword, we spent the remainder of the day (until 5) at the Deutsches Museum. At sunset, we were in Marienplatz for a beer and then dinner in the Ratskellar.

Sign at the bus stop confirms that we are at the right place. There were many English-speaking folks on the bus.

There is a lot of empty space at the Dachau memorial. This is the assembly area between the barracks and the administration buildings. The memorial site was reconstructed in the 1960s.

Guard towers and fencing to keep prisoners in.

Reconstructed crematorium and gas chambers are difficult to comprehend.

It is admirable that the state of Bavaria maintains this site and that it is widely visited.

Entering the Deutsches Museum.

Marienplatz and the clock on the Rathaus. Too bad it was already done with its show for the day.

But we enjoyed a beer together on our last evening in Germany.

Dinner at the Ratskellar consisted of potato soup, then sausage and sauerbraten.
