Because we have folks arriving from Canada and Australia , this will be kind of a lazy day, we will settle in the Hotel Olympia at the 1972 Olympic Shooting range. From there we can make arrangements to visit the nearby Air Museum, shooting on the Olympic range, taking the train into downtown Munich for sightseeing, or just catching forty winks in the room.
