Day 1
Wollten wir nicht nach München….
September 6 in Germany ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
Wenn man ohne Kinder reist, reist man viel spontaner….
War heute wirklich so. Eigentlich war der Plan, auf direktem Weg nach München zu fahren….
Nur dem war dann nicht so, zumindest nicht direkt … Während der Fahrt, sagte David zu mir, er schaue noch ob wir über Lindau fahren oder wo anderes durch. Mir kam in Sinn, dass mein Lieblingsohrring Shop ja auf Schloss Salem an einer Ausstellung ist und dies ist doch gar nicht seid weg von Lindau….
Planänderung, wir fahren also über Schloss Salem :-)
Danach gab es ein herrliches Mittagessen direkt am Bodensee mit Sicht auf Mainau und anschliessend ging es dann nach München.
Am Abend, gingen wir an die Vernissage der Gallery Binder mit dem Künstler Yigal Ozeri.Read more

Day 30
Final Weigh In
January 5 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 8 °C
Today we took our last weight restricted flight (to Munich) before heading home. Now the only thing left to weigh is ourselves when we get back : (
A look around the Deutsche Museum preceded the obligatory Beer Hall Dinner. Not looking forward to the scales of justice.Read more

Day 15
Letzter Urlaubstag
September 7, 2023 in Germany ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
Wir packen unsere Koffer, genießen das letzte Frühstück auf unserem Hausboot und düsen in die City. Hier verstauen wir unsere Koffer in der Stadt und bummeln ein letztes Mal durch die Grachten über einen schönen, grünen Park zu einer Food-Hall und lassen uns Summer-Rolls schmecken.
Danach geht alles schnell: Wir holen unsere Koffer, fahren mit dem Zug zum Flughafen und ciao adé Amsterdam!
Island & Amsterdam, ihr seid schön, unser Urlaub war geil, wir kommen wieder! :)

Day 12
Deutsches Museum #1
January 27, 2020 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 3 °C
The German Museum is huge. I go immediately after my first day of language school. There are actually three buildings. Maybe Germany just has too much history and every museum needs three buildings. I don't know, but it seems likely Right now.

I've heard over and over that the German Museum is incredible and it really takes days to go through. Turns out they're right. The Deutches Museum I visit is dedicated to the history of technology, which includes the history of mining in Germany - since the first time coal was ever mined in Germany - the history of power - since power was people pushing things until today - astronomy, surveying, flight, marine history, and then there is the Akademie collection which includes the telescope that identified Neptune. There's also a cafe, with an incredible exhibit on .... coffee..

There's also huge sections on nanotechnology, technology inventions and more - yet most of this goes over my head. Tell me about cars and trucks and travel patterns and housing and it makes sense to me. Other people can be experts in Nanotech. I'm just happy I caught a power exhibit with raw lightning shooting over faraday cages.Read more

Day 2
Deutsches Museum
September 13, 2023 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C
Wir sind beeindruckt, wie groß dieses Museum ist. Von Flugzeugen bis Raumfahrt, von Meldetechnik bis Agrartechnik und dem menschlichen Körper ist alles dabei. Wir hatten ca. 2/3 vom Museum durch, als uns die Köpfe rauchten und wir abbrechen mussten. Das Museum ist definitiv wieder einen Ausflug wert, vor allem, wenn der Umbau abgeschlossen ist.
Als wir nach draußen gegangen sind, hat es geregnet und natürlich hatten wir keinen Regenschirm mit. Wir haben uns dann kurzerhand 2 Knirpse am Isator gekauft.Read more

Day 3
Museum day
July 16 in Germany ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C
Deutsches Museum day! It’s a huge museum so we already knew we were in for a big day of taking in lots of interesting information. My favourite part of the museum was probably reading about different planets and seeing Gutenbergs printing press. Joshes favourite part was the aviation history. After feeling tired and overstimulated, we left the museum a little bit smarter 😆

The afternoon was spent strolling around the city. We found a cool board game store where we both picked a new game each! 😁✨Read more

Day 14
Last day in Munich
January 3, 2018 in Germany ⋅ 🌧 4 °C
Our last day in Munich. I tried so hard all day not to already miss being with Wyatt and just enjoy every moment. We all had a big ole breakfast together. Then the 8 of us headed to the Deutsches Museum for 4 hours since it was cold and rainy out. That is quite a place. It's a huge science museum and we each found something to love. There was a math hall for Donn and Wyatt's darling math major, roomie friend Adam. The pharmaceutical/health/medicine section had Savannah's interest for a few hours. Gabe loved renewable energy and I got lost in nanotechnology. 😀 Wyatt's friend Kyle had to double back to energy..I think so he'd have something cool to say at his upcoming interview for a real job...he just graduated mechanical engineering from SLO in December. Congrats!! Wyatt's last bro Phillip is a sophomore at SLO and seemed to like it all. No one got close to getting through the whole thing. All Wyatt's Bros are awesome kind hearted fun living humans. We enjoyed their company so very much. We ended the day at a beautiful beer hall Augustiner Braustubun for straight up German food and beer. I cherished every second😀It was with a heavy heart we said goodbye to our baby. 😓Ok...8 months..I got this😘Read more

Deutsches Museum

Into Munich itself today and our first stop was the Deutsches museum. Think the science museum in London but 5X larger. They'd even built replica mine shafts under the museum which you could walk through.Read more

Deutsches Museum : Marine Navigation
September 16, 2018 in Germany ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C
Here in this hall, the prime exhibit is the 1880's fishing vessel, the Maria, which remained in service til the 1950's.
There's a cool collection of kayaks and canoes and a Portuguese fishing boat.
The round ring, with pants attached, is hooked onto ropes (like a flying fox) to rescue people safely from a sinking ship.
There's also a U1 Submarine built in 1906, Germany's first submarine. Its hull has been cut to display the vessel like a cross section. Very interesting.Read more
Traveler I find this sort of thing quite amazing. To think of having pants sewn into such a device.

Day 14
Munich
July 26, 2022 in Germany ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
Our first full day in Munich began with clouds and rain - the first we'd really seen. We hopped on a tram into the city centre and wandered around some of the sights, including the Odeonplatz where the failed Nazi coup, the Munich Putsch, ended in 1923. At the Neues Rathaus, we ate a huge breakfast including Munich white sausages, as the rain poured around us.

The walk the the Deutsches Museum was equally soggy, and we had to queue in the rain for about half an hour for a ticket. However the museum itself was amazing, and B was in his element at the physics interactive displays (as well as engineering, flying, maths, etc.). We spent a good three hours before our brains were too full to stay.

So we spent the rest of the afternoon touring the beerhouses of Munich - the HofBrauHaus (including some German musical accompaniment), Augustiner and Tegernseer Tal. The Hofbrauhaus was the most touristy (and well known) and was a heaving thoroughfare; the other two were rather more pleasant!Read more
