Today was the first media visit we had, in what seemed like, weeks. We were privileged enough to visit BMW. Not only did we get the inside scoop on the new green BMW cars, but we also got a tour of the museum! I did not think I would enjoy this visit very much since I am not into cars, but I was so wrong! This was defiantly one of my favorite visits so far!
There were many amazing things that I enjoyed learning about in each of the parts of the day at BMW. I loved learning about the different laws that Germany has with the cars that are very different than the United States. Another part of the presentation that interested me was that BMW is doing so many other things other than just producing cars. All of the apps for smartphones seemed to be very helpful and I am going to download a few of them once we get home.
BMW also treated us to an amazing lunch at one of their cafes. The food was amazing, just like their hospitality they showed towards us.
After lunch we went on a tour of the BMW museum. I loved seeing the Mini exhibit because they are my Mom’s favorite cars and I also think they are adorable! Also, after seeing the VIP treatment that you can get if you pick up your new BMW in Munich makes me want to do that someday. It was amazing that they had so many services for the new car owners.
Later in the day I was able to explore Munich on my own, which I am very proud of. I took the one of the S bahns to one of the shopping areas a bit past the city center. I had to return a dress, but of course I bought a new one. I love shopping by myself because I can take as much time as I want to wonder around and not have someone telling me to hurry. It was also nice to take in some of the last sights since it was our final amount of free time. I went into a huge upscale department store, which was decorated incredibility.
Later that night, Andrea and I just hungout and grabbed some dinner in the train station. It is always interesting going to the train station because there are also so many different and unique people.
I cannot believe tomorrow is our last day! The trip went so quick and I will be sad to leave Germany.
