Garmisch and Dachau

In Garmisch we stayed at the Hotel Frauendorfer, a quaint bed and breakfast full of Bavarian trinkets and tradition. Each morning we ate a typical German breakfast of a hard roll with meat and cheese, yogurt and fresh fruit. In the evening, we ordered our meal while enjoying and older gentleman play on his accordion and sang traditional songs.

The concentration camp of Dachau took up our second day. There is not very much to see of the camp left, only the footings of buildings and old photographs put on display in the museum. The bitter cold blowing through the camp made us think about how unbearable it must have been to stand in roll call for over an hour each day with no warm coats such as we were wearing.
