Day 07 - Tour Linderhof and Oberammergau, arriving in Munich
|
|
We sadly left our resort hotel in Bad Wörishofen in the morning en route to Linderhof Palace, about a 90-minute trip to the south. Once we got to Linderhof, we got to roam the Palace grounds. We then got back on the bus for the quick 15-minute ride to Oberammergau. We had lunch in Oberammergau then had some free time to walk around town (some folks did an optional tour of the Passion Play theater). We left Oberammergau around 1600 and rolled up to our hotel in Munich a little before 1800. We tour Munich all day tomorrow! |
