This morning we visited the BMW museum in Munich. Very cool exhibit to see for any fan of cars and motorbikes - and I am certainly in that category. The reception area basically had every new model of BMW and MINI car and BMW motorcycle on display. They also had a really cool demo of a guy riding a 800 GS through the space doing 360's and bouncing up and down three flights of stairs - super badass! The museum was the best part with almost every historical model of BMW motorcycle and car on display. The written text and video dialogue were in both germs and English - which was nice for a change. Most of the previous historical displays we visited in other countries were only in the native language. We grabbed a snack in the M1 cafe just outside the entrance and made friends with two of the employees - Christina and Blair. It was nice chatting with them while we enjoyed the white sausage, pretzels and beer.

One of my favs at the museum a 1985 3 series - first all wheel drive from BMW.
Crowded tent at Oktoberfest.

We then moved on to day two at the Oktoberfest. It seemed to be even more crowded than the day before. After visiting a couple of beer gardens and getting rained on again we attempted to find a seat inside - no dice. So hard to get a seat inside the tents. After visiting several we finally managed to get a seat in a beer garden under a covered awning - almost as good as being inside. We hit our three liter limit around 8pm and decided to call it a night. We are heading out and riding to Strasbourg, France on Monday morning - preferably without a hangover.
Another favorite - M car.
