Bonn: Day 2
Deutschland, Deutschland, Deutschland!
Wed 9 Aug 2006
23 °C
After a relatively late breakfast, owing largely to the Robbie concert last night, Bernd and I headed off to the Haus am Deutsches Historische. It's official title is "Stiftung Haus der Geschichte der Bundesrepublik Deutschland". Try saying that drunk.
This museum differs from so many other ones that I've been to recently because it only covers Germany's history since 1945. The museum itself was fascinating, but as with a lot of things in Bonn, everything was only in German, so without Bernd I would have been a little lost, to say the least!
Thanks Bernd!
After rushing back home to finish packing, Bernd drove me to the airport and I boarded the plane for München. From the old capital of Germany (Bonn was the capital until 1991, believe it or not!!) to the beer capital of the world in 45mins! Hehehe...no wonder more Aussies end up in München. BTW: Germanwings have next to no leg room no flights .. be careful fellow tall people!
I've only been here a few hours and already I love it. The atmosphere is great - like a large small town (if that makes sense), and the view from the top of the Olympic Tower was grand! Plus I had a midnight beer in a real biergarden ... how much more München can you get!?!?
Tchüss!
