June 9 Stuttgart to Munich

Woke up to a thunderstorm that passed over but its remnants left a cloudy day. We ate, packed, said good-bye to Gerd and headed for Dachau. By lunch time I could feel my chest tightening up and then I knew I had contracted Gerd's cough/illness. I started coughing periodically but thankfully no other symptoms appeared yet. Gerd, thanks for your hospitality. Even though you were sick, you were still a great host. Maybe we can return the favour when you come visit us. I cannot quite describe how I felt about Dachau. Even though you see all the proof of the atrocities committed there, it just boggles my mind to think that this was allowed to happen. I did not even want to take pictures but finally as we were about to leave I thought I should just to remind myself that I had actually been there. The rental car was returned next and we headed for the train station. We got our ticket verified and sat down to wait for our overnight train to Amsterdam which was to leave at 11:55pm.
