Just kidding.
This weekend we drove down to Munich with a stop at Dachau first. Dachau was the first Nazi concentration camp in Germany. The Dachau memorial site had a large museum held within the former Maintenance building. There was a prison, and two reconstructed Barracks. The original foundations to the barracks were still in place. The camp also had a Crematorium area. The site was chilling, and oddly surrounded by homes that people still live in. Can't imagine having a Nazi concentration camp as my 'backyard'. The idea of just living in the town of Dachau is strange enough. The museum laid out the events in order, and the sheer numbers of those affected and the facts about the camp were sobering. After thoroughly checking out the site, we were ready to lift our spirits and head into Munich.
Our first stop in Munich was the BMW Welt (BMW World) and museum. It was similar to a car show, only with just BMW and the few brands they own. The building was modern and impressive. There was much freedom, and you could sit in almost any (very expensive) car you wanted. We headed over to the museum which chronicled the history of BMW, and was featuring a special exhibit on Rolls Royce. I would recommend this to any car fanatic. Many vintage or antique cars, and many fancy, impressive and ultra modern cars.
After the BMW Welt we decided to check out the city center of Munich. Little did we know there was a protest going on, and it was quite hectic. We checked out the area (which would probably be manageable on a weekday) and grabbed a bite to eat, and then we were out of there.
