Day 11: Munich - Amalienburg Palace

Our favorite part of the complex was probably the "quaint" little Amalienburg Palace about 300 yards away in the woods. It's a hunting lodge that Karl Albrecht had built for his wife Maria Amalia in 1734. She was quite outdoorsy and had a perch on top she shot pheasant from. The rooms were ornately decorated with hunting themes and a mini hall-of-mirrors. Pretty similar to the decor in our tin-roofed and tin-walled camp house at the deer lease.

We were pretty hungry and about schnitzel-ed and brat-ed out. We found a great Vietnamese restaurant that hit the spot before heading back to the centrum (town center; downtown).
