Munich

I am not sure how it happened, but upon entering the Deutsches Museum at 11:00am some kind of unexplainable time shift occurred whereby 4 hours slipped by without my knowledge. I believe this was largely due to the 100,000 gadgets, inventions and machines laid out in this fascinating place. To be honest I could spend a week in this museum, but Michelle would go mad with boredom so we move on and make sure we see some other parts of Munich. We go next to the Modern art museum (Pinakothek der moderne) where we are at least both equally interested.

The town hall and nearby Frauen church dominate the skyline of this Bavarian city and the best view is from the "Old Peter" tower. It’s a lively place with crowds lining the main streets and plenty of drinks being enjoyed in the central beer gardens near Viktualien markets. We are able to walk from our hotel through all the main attractions of the city centre with ease and find the reputable Augustiner for a genuine bit of german dinner in traditional setting.

I’m looking forward to leaving Munich – but mostly because this is the end of our inter city train rides and the start of the driving excursion.
