Our final day we only had to check out at 12, but we were ready with David around 10:30 so that we could head out to the BMW museum in the outskirts of Munich - via station pastries, of course. It was in two clear parts, the first part being all about electric cars and renewable technology and environmentally friendly stuff. It seemed to be the major focus of the museum but wasn’t what we were after out of our experience. Instead, we really enjoyed the historical side, which included every vehicle that they manufactured with lots you could get up close to and look at (but don’t touch, unlike some of the Russian tourists who were opening doors!).
After looking at all the older cars, we went across the road to the dealership. There you can see all the current cars you can buy and sit in them and touch them and all that cool stuff. Unfortunately we now have a car so are no longer in the market...
We needed to leave just after lunch time to get back to the hotel for our bags and head to the airport on the train, so we ended up getting lunch from a food truck we found just outside the museum. Unfortunately it was probably the worst currywurst of the trip, but at least it was convenient? Then it was back to the hotel, off to the airport. We arrived with what we thought was enough time to spare but all the queues were really long so it took us the entire time to get through and we got to the gate right when they called our flight to start boarding.
Then even arriving into Gatwick was busy, as there were no trains running to Clapham Junction! Instead, with all our luggage, we caught a different train to East Croydon and then caught a really long tram all the way to Wimbledon. We were very glad to get home... although we have to work tomorrow.
