Excepting our hotel in Munich, the hotels have been nearly empty. I am also guessing that if our Munich hotel did not border the park that hosts the Tollwood festival (same location as Octoberfest), it would have been near empty too. Our current hotelier says that the Germans are traveling to Italy and Spain where it is cheaper and no other Europeans are coming because it is too expensive. Erika has even had her most loyal guests of the past 20 years cancel as their business has gone into receivership. So we; the Fosters and Merriman / MacDonalds are the only guests for Christmas in this hotel and the first in five days to stay. Yep, some financially challenging times are here for Europe. Possibly good for Kiwis and those on the USD though!
