Raining today, but not a problem as we went thru the Residenz or Royal Palace and the Royal Treasury – crowns, etc. One of the most opulent and best collections that we have seen. Beside the Residenz is the memorial to famous Bavarian generals which Hitler had turned into a Nazi shrine and made it compulsory for everyone passing to do the Nazi salute and say Heil Hitler! Behind the memorial is a small lane that people who wanted to avoid the salute would pass. It came to be know as Heil Hitler Lane. The Nazi décor was removed after the war, but the name persists. We then went to the Hofbrauhaus which is the largest and oldest beer garden and ale house dating back to the 1500s. We then went exploring and site-seeing other landmarks and churches as well as some souvenir shopping. Later we had dinner at another great Italian restaurant not too far from our hotel.
