Germany - Munich

Nursing our hangovers, we went on a walking tour of the city this afternoon. It was a nice relaxed way to get moving and see the city. 
Munich is beautiful and full of amazing history. Hitler called Munich ‘the capital of the movement’ so many of the The Third Reich important events happened here - probably the most disturbing one being ‘the night of the broken glass’ in November 1938 which was the night that Hitler started the movement against the Jewish people. We had an amazing guide and learnt a lot about the Nazi Movements within the city as well as some other interesting ‘lighter’ facts about Munich.
We then boarded our overnight train to Italy in preparation for our language course.
