I tried everything Frank!
beer was incredible. Every small town has there own brewery and they sell to all the local stores and bars. So each night we would hit a different gastoph and drink the local beer.
One night in Munich, we ate at the Hofbrauhaus. It was aswome atmosphere and great beer. Here is there website.

As for the autobahn, man it was awsome. We rented an Alfa romeo sports car. It was fast and did I ever take it to the limit. It is funny to see no speed limits posted, rather, you see a signe that says 100km/h ends. Next thing you know the left lane becomes a race track. I was doing 170km/h and flying and I had cars passing me on the left like I was standing still. It was incredible.

Wow! the hafbrahhaius?!?! My Grandfather told me about that place! Bosco, your trip to germany has brougth back some great memories. THANK YOU.
See, my Grandfather was a airforce pilot in WW II and spent some time in a german POW camp. He would tell me all sorts of stories about Germany, and he mentioned the Hafbrahaus many many times. He actually got friendly with some of the german guards and they would take him into town and he'd eat there.at the haufbrauhaus! (In actuallality, my grandfather was running an undergroud espionage ring out of the POW camp right under the noses of the guards.) It's nice to know the haufbrau house is still there. I would like to go there someday and see all the places my grandfather spoke about. He told me fantastic stories about having tunnels out of the camp that they would use to go into town, and smuggle soilders back home. It was amazing. My grandfather was truely a fantastic man.
After the war, he married the secretary from the POW camp. (Durng his internment, she would often help him).
Thanks Bosco. Your pics have brought back a lot of great memories of a truely wonderful man. Thanks. The stories he told me of his service were amazing. Bless your Gamps.

did you follow the link to the website???? This was Hitlers hang out with his top ranking officers. He kind of just took it as his own.
I have some photos of the place to share with you. Where else did your grandfather speak of. I have been all over Southern Germany, perhaps I can share some pictures with you. I am going to go again. This time just southern Germany. When you are ready to go again , let me know I will help you plan.

My grandfather would speak often about Desuledorf, the trains that would run by the camp, (the Berlin Express), Helga's Haufbrau, Heidleburg, Berlin. Many many places. He told me how they used to have a secret radio hidden in an old coffee pot....truely amazing stuff.
