Our last day in Europe. How sad. The top photo is the former royal residence of the Bavarian royal family. It was completely destroyed in World War II and rebuilt, only that part with the patterned wall survived the bombing.
The second photo is part of Odeonplatz the Nazis installed a tribute to Hitler on the side of this monument which was guarded by SS guards and everyone who walked past had to give the Nazi salute to the plaque.
The third photo is the base of a statue to a composer (can't recall his name but it doesn't matter it's on there if you can read it) which has been hijacked by these women and girls as a shrine to Michael Jackson on all 4 sides. The council people remove it all every few weeks and then the girls put it all back again.
The last 2 photos are the inside and outside of the Hofbrauhaus. The most famous beer hall in Munich. We didn't drink there but they reckon the waitresses are rude and still expect to be tipped. It's also where Hitler essentially took serious control of what then became the fledgling Nazi Party. Men drinking beer goes hand in hand with German politics. The women and children go and eat in another part of the beer halls. Good idea eh?
Enjoy Bangkok, you can sit back and relax for a little while. Also have a pleasant and safe trip home. Bet the girls can't wait. love Chez x
