This is the last full day of our trip and the fatigue has definitely caught up with us. We arrived in the city around 10:30am and the hotel surprised us by having our rooms ready. We did the two things I was interested in in Munich: the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rathaus-Glockenspiel\" target=\"_blank\">1908 Rathaus-Glockenspiel<\/a> performance and the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hofbraeuhaus.de\/en\/welcome.html\" target=\"_blank\">Hofbr\u00e4uhaus<\/a> for lunch. I promised the boys &#8220;No more museums and no more tourist attractions&#8221; after yesterday&#8217;s Passion Play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">It&#8217;s now 3pm and 2 solid weeks of &#8220;go go go&#8221; (and a ma\u00df of beer per person with lunch) has knocked us on our butts. We are now <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hotel-am-viktualienmarkt.de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">in our hotel rooms<\/a> drifting in and out of sleep. We&#8217;ll probably wander out to a street cafe before sunset for a light dinner, but I&#8217;ve blocked time this evening to figure out how we&#8217;re getting all the wine, schnapps, and beer steins home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Luckily this Mom brought her secret weapon: I had a medium duffel bag tucked into the corner of my suitcase for this very reason. It should fit enough clothing to free up space for our goodies in the hard sided suitcases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">We are checked in for our flight tomorrow. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/travel\/2022\/08\/10\/lufthansa-strikes-wage-hikes-of-up-to-19-agreed-following-negotiations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Looks like Lufthansa&#8217;s back up and running after their brief strike last week<\/a> (which canceled the MUC-DEN nonstop on the 27th).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/thevollmerfamily.com\/MajorMom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-302.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"769\" src=\"http:\/\/thevollmerfamily.com\/MajorMom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-302-1024x769.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5886\" srcset=\"http:\/\/thevollmerfamily.com\/MajorMom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-302-1024x769.png 1024w, http:\/\/thevollmerfamily.com\/MajorMom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-302-300x225.png 300w, http:\/\/thevollmerfamily.com\/MajorMom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-302-768x577.png 768w, http:\/\/thevollmerfamily.com\/MajorMom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-302-1536x1154.png 1536w, http:\/\/thevollmerfamily.com\/MajorMom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-302.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>The Rathaus-Glockenspiel in the tower over my head.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/thevollmerfamily.com\/MajorMom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-303.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/thevollmerfamily.com\/MajorMom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-303-1024x768.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5887\" srcset=\"http:\/\/thevollmerfamily.com\/MajorMom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-303-1024x768.png 1024w, http:\/\/thevollmerfamily.com\/MajorMom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-303-300x225.png 300w, http:\/\/thevollmerfamily.com\/MajorMom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-303-768x576.png 768w, http:\/\/thevollmerfamily.com\/MajorMom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-303-1536x1152.png 1536w, http:\/\/thevollmerfamily.com\/MajorMom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/image-303.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center;
