Last Day in Munich

Twas the last day in Bavaria and we had a couple of things to tick of the list.  Although the BMW Museum was planned we gave it a miss so that we could return the Mercedes 'Corby' Benz  and have some relaxing time as we haven't stopped since arriving in Europe.

Before dropping the car back we went to Olympiapark, where the 1972 Olympic Games were held. It as great to see, unlike many other Olympic host cities, that they have made the most of the space with many facilities still in use today.  

We took the elevator up the tower and were treated to a great view across Munich.  Clyde proved to have no fear of heights, however that giddy feeling was prevalent when standing on the outside of the tower.

 

Yet agin Munich showcased a summer's day that we have become used to, with a view for miles.

Therre was one particular part of that view that I personally found a little confronting;  the Olympic Athlete Village.  This was the site that saw that assassination of members of the Israli olympic team, certainly an act that goes against the spirit of the Games and humanity. The village is now a popular residential village for the locals.

With those unfortunate circumstances aside, Munich claim that these games were one of the most successful; a true indication of the German determination. Time of some cooling off after that, it was 32  degrees.

See ya Corby, you were a fun ride.
