Try keeping Ange away from the nearby markets...
...and me from the Hofbrauhous, the most famous beer hall in Germany. We both finished our steins, impressive for Ange who normally isn't a beer drinker.
A walk through nearby Englisher Garten, a huge central park larger than Central Park or Hyde Park. It has a stream running through the middle of it, on which a standing wave has been created for the local surfers.
Our destination in the park was the Chineseturm, basically another beer garden. This one was huge, and very busy - we were very impressed by the way the Germans loved to sit outside when the sun came out and drink beer!
On the way back to the Metro we came across a cocktail and sheesha bar, so our last night on tour was spent re-aclimitising to Dubai life!Having ticked off most things we wanted to the previous day, and with a full day in front of us before our late night flight back to Dubai, we took it easy. We made it to the northern 'burbs for a look around the BMW museum, since we hadn't gone to Stuttgart to see any of ther others. Unfortunately most of it was closed, but we still had a quick look around.
Over the road to the site of the 1972 Olympics - pretty awesome construction considering they are 40 years old!
Back into town to see the Beer and Octoberfest Museum. We were keen to do Germany around September so we could go to Octoberfest, but unfortunately the timings didn't really work for us, so this was as clase as we got (other than all the beer drunk of course)
After chilling out in the park for a bit, we got the train out to the airport (just) in time for our flight back to Dubai. Holiday over :(
