Salt - but not the city...

It was another bus day today. We left our little hotel and drove for about an hour to Bertchesgarden. This was the location of Hitler's offices and at the base of the Eagle's nest. That wasn't our purpose, we went to the salt mines! The first thing is to dress properly. We had to wear jump suits to protect our clothes and make us look more like miners. We then hopped a little train that took us into the heart of the mountain. The tour was interesting but our favorite part was the slides!

After the tour we drove the rest of the way to Munich. Our first stop was the BMW museum, an amazing collection that reflects the history of the company and the machines it produces. Then we crossed a bridge to BMW Welt. This is where you see options available, order your car and then pick it up a few weeks later. We were tempted but settled for little souvenirs from there instead.

We are now at the hotel (with improved internet - check out previous posts for pictures). We had a great dinner and most are now watching the Euro Cup - Italy vs. Germany.
