Germany 2015 - Day 5

Sunday we took the train into Munich and headed to the BMW Museum first thing.




Before heading in we got to see the site of the Munich Olympics in the distance.




The museum was actually way more interesting than I thought it would be. It was totally worth the trip. I enjoyed learning more about the history of the company and how it all started. And all the pretty cars were pretty cool too.
















There was a entire exhibit dedicated to the "Mini Story" which featured hundreds of Mini Coopers. It may have been my favorite part.










After the museum, we took the train into downtown Munich to catch the Glockenspiele. It was quite enchanting.



Unfortunately, there had been a marathon that morning and the finish and start where right in front of the building, so it was a little hard to capture the beauty of the whole building.



I was starving and really wanted a good pretzel while in Germany. This was not it. Most likely because it was Sunday and it was probably old. Don't worry, we got another one a few days later that was gigantic and the best giant pretzel I have ever eaten. Wish I had taken a picture of that one.





After the clock show,  we walked around a bit and then toured the Frauenkirchen, a beautiful church








 We grabbed dinner at the train station (Turkey Doner, so yummy!) and then headed home. I definitely wish we had more time in Munich. It was a beautiful city and I would have loved to see more of it. Next time for sure!
