Today was another early morning because we had a professional visit to BMW Welt (BMW World). BMW Welt is the exhibition and delivery center for all of BMW- customers who have ordered cars can come to this location to pick up their brand new car and drive it for the first time. This center also serves as a showroom, and there are many beautiful car and motorcycle models displayed for all visitors to see. On our visit we were able to go behind the scenes of the company to see what happens when the new cars are delivered and how they are prepared to be in perfect condition for their new owners. We also learned about the new technology and various features that BMW includes in its cars that keep the company on the forefront of the luxury car market.
After our visit, a group of girls and I rode the U-Bahn back to the center of Munich to go to the Deutsches Museum. This museum is said to be one of the best in Munich, containing various airplanes, space technology, and robot and computer technology. The museum was interesting but I think my brother and dad would have had more of an appreciation for the displays.
After having a quick lunch, I went up to my hotel room and took my first nap of this whole study abroad trip. This is quite an accomplishment, because I really, really love naps. After my nap we had our last bike tour of the trip, a tour around Munich. This tour was actually my least favorite of the bike tours we have taken, partly because it was raining and cold. Because of the weather we did not see as many sites as we probably would have if it had been sunny. After about an hour on the bikes we stopped at an outdoor place to eat dinner (thankfully the rain had stopped), then pretty soon after we headed back to the bike shop.
Since we were freezing, we stopped on the way back to our hotel for coffee, hot chocolate, and tea. Then Jessica and I spent the rest of the evening hanging out in our room with a few other girls and getting ready to leave for Switzerland tomorrow!
