Road Trip Day 3 - Munich


So today (27/8) was pretty rough. I got about 2 hours of sleep and woke up a little bit pissed. I knew I would regret not getting up and joining in the days activites though. So I manned up, got up and just had to make sure I did a metric shit tonne of winging to make sure everyone appreciated my effort to be with them. Luckily for me, no one else was really at the top of their game anyway:



We went for a wander around Munich and found the Residence. It was another big ole house thing with a ludicrously lavish interior, see the banquet hall below:



There was also a sweet statue of Perseus holding the madjusas head aloft in triumph, little did he know that Kratos was just around the bend to take his.





Included in the 7 euro entry fee was an audio tour guy (like the tower of london) so we started listening to all sorts of crap about stuff. About half way through I realised that I wasn't actually listening to any of it and gave up. Then I discovered that if you picked one of the audio tracks that had music at the start of it and held a handset up to each ear it sounded amazing. I'm sure the residence was amazing but I just wasn't capable of enjoying it, hell, I couldn't have even operated a bread-maker. The dual-audio-tour-handset-syncapated-music thing was probably the highlight. Here is a demonstration of how cool we looked doing it:




Then we dropped a couple of weary girls off a the accommodation and Grant and I went to have a look around BMW Vert, the BMW museum. It was kick ass. A really interesting building and lots of interesting ways of presenting the exhibits. We also had a win as the entry fee was waived for some reason. I suspect it was because me and Grant just looked so damned sexy.
