Today was an unexpected free day.
Originally, we were supposed to spend most of the day at the BMW plant,
taking delivery of a vehicle that we would use for the rest of our trip. But the vehicle ended up on back order, so we
had to make other arrangements for transportation.
After another yummy breakfast in our hotel, we packed our bags and
headed back to Munich to the Olympic park.
We walked to the top of the highest hill in the park, which has a nice
view of the city and of the park. Then
Ashley grabbed a Nutella and banana crepe that most of us shared.
We still decided to go through the BMW Welt showroom. It was very fun taking pictures of the cars,
and motor cycles.
After the car shopping we went back to the park and ordered some
bratwurst and other lunch items.
Then we drove into the countryside north of Munich and found a roadside
flower patch where you can pick your own flowers and pay in a little box for
whatever you take. What a great concept! I guess they figure that the criminal element
doesn’t generally go after beautiful flowers, so why would they need to waste
time manning a cash register.
Then it was off to the airport to return our rental car. And now we are on a bus headed toward
Prague. I’m actually enjoying the fact
that I can sit back and admire the countryside and not have to worry about
driving.
The bus is about a third full, so we have plenty of room to spread out
and relax. Maybe I’ll set us up with a
similar mode of transport between Prague and Salzburg next week. I like it!
