Munich

A380
Okey,  because a good friend is working and living in Munich we decided to visit him there because he is only living there for a couple few more weeks. He is working in the Lufthansa technician hall where the planes are maintained and controlled. And because of that we got a private tour through the hall, pretty cool ;). Our friend showed us around the hall and explained everything. There was also a private plane from a Russian billionaire. And we also learned that the prince from Thailand is taking private flight lessons. Well, back to the tour. We even went on a plane which was "parked" in the hall ;) We visited all parts of the plane, even the sleeping room for the stewards and the cockpit. It was amazing to sit in the cockpit chairs ;) All in all it was great and interesting tour through the hall.
Before we went back to downtown Munich we stopped at the airport observation deck to see the start of the world largest airplane, the Airbus A380. It was a great view. Back in Munich we just walked through downtown and stopped at the Hard Rock Cafe for a while. In the evening we went to another bar nearby.
On Sunday we planned to have a "White Sausage" (typical bavarian sausage) breakfast, but unfortunately they were out. So we just had a "normal" breakfast. After a great weekend in Munich which was way too short, we drove home.
