After the museum, we headed over to Marienplatz to do a little shopping and then pick up some food for dinner. We purchased a few ham sandwiches, some lingonberries and cherries and a giant pretzel. We then stopped by the room for one of the bottles of wine we purchased at the monastery and headed to the park for our last dinner and some playtime before packing to return home.

It has been a busy but fun trip!

this pretzel was as big as James' head!
