Yesterday Justin and I took the train to Munich and then the subway up to the Olympic Park and the BMW World. We took a tour of the Welt(World) building which had a show room like area, 3 restaurants, a learning/technology section, a teen area, and the delivery area. We got a chance to see a brief motorcycle demonstration which included one driver going up and down the stairs and along the catwalk suspended overhead. The only area that we got to access as part of our tour that wasn't open to the general public was down one level where we watched a video of some of the cars and motorcycles driving around and then an animation of what the delivery process entails and then a view of the holding area which has an oxygen level of 14% to reduce risk of fire due to all the cars having full tanks of gas. We then went into the double cone section and ended our tour. Justin and I then walked around for a few min and then headed across the street to the Museum. The building is nicknamed the salad bowl because of the shape which we decided it's appropriate. After several hours looking at cars and motorcycles I'd had enough and we headed back via subways to the main train station and got a bite to eat before the train back to Garmisch.
As usual, some pictures...
