18.6.15 - Munich

This adventure end. What adventure!
But before doing an overview, I`ll tell you last night and day in Munich.
At the hostel I stay in a room with Laura - Argentina - Bilal - Canadian with Pakistani origin - and Ben, US. All very talkative, with Laura in Spanish and others in English.
I went to dinner with Bilal to Marianplatz and we talk about trips. Bilal is 19 years old and will work a month in Slovenia. Takes advantage of the holidays to meet new cultures and countries, while friends still in Canada.
After that we return to the hostel bar for a solid proof of Augustina and Franciscan. Then I met a British crazy by Formula 1 and Tiago Monteiro fnas. I also met a Swedish couple and two American. Travelling, experiences, recommending places to each other was our conversation.
This morning, like every German, I bought the metro ticket and visit the town. I could not have done it, as there is no turnstiles to pass or reviewers. Similarly, at the BMW Museum, I paid the ticket and there was no door. Whoever wanted to could come.
Tube stations are very beautiful, like authentic art installations; especially Muncher Freiheit.
I left the University and walked to Giselestrasse where I could see the city Arch and, later, the statue of WalkingMan.
The BMW Museum at present it is not quite a car museum. It is an architecture masterpiece dedicated to the customer, or potential customer, brand, telling him a story of engineering, design and technology. Before entering the museum, you are almost invited to go to the BMW space where all the group's products: from the smallest bike with training wheels for children, to the more aristocratic Rolls Royce, through M family or beautiful models of two wheels . Without forgetting Mini and all the merchandising that is there, inviting the fan using the brand it in several occasions: from a bottle of water, Puma sneakers for jogging, cases for smartphones, suitcases, toys, clothing, etc etc.
In the museum I saw cars and beautiful bikes. Unfortunately not seen any competition Art Car. Fortunately, and with great pride, the M3 GTR 24 hours of Nurburgring winner was exposed, with the flag of Portugal and Lamy name as the first driver.
I returned the city center to climb a tower and, at noon sharp, hear the bells of Marianplatz.
The farewell Munich before returning to pick up the TT were few beers and pork knuckle sandwiches greaves market.
Right now I'm at the airport in Memmingen and I am about to embark. How about the overview of the trip staying for tomorrow? Deal

17.6.15 - Salzburg | Innsbruck | Munich

Today I woke up at dawn, a sign that I´m adapting to Central Europe time table and exposure to the sun. Thankfully, I take better day.
Salzburg was gray but nevertheless I open the car-roof. The route would be "to enjoy" and nothing better to do it with the sky as ceiling.
I went from Salzburg to Innsbruck and then to Munich without trampling highway Uáu!.
Mountains, valleys, lakes, peaks with snow; cows, sheep, horses; despite the TT snoring, I could hear the chirping of birds, and see major wings to fly over the sky. How wonderful!
Strolling through the Alps not hard to imagine where they come from all the fantastic legends with Broomhilda, Hansel and Gretel, or where Strauss was inspired to compose if the Blue Danube or Spring Voices.
Come to Innsbruck, the idea was to see the city. However, when I saw ski jumps stadium, I could not resist to go there. Surprised me the space, the TV looks much bigger and wider. I was lucky to see athletes training and could see up close for the first time, the flight of bats. Then up to the complex's restaurant terrace and I had an overview of the Alps. Beautiful!
The road between Innsbruck and Munich's is to dream for. By little curves and for being virtually made next to a lake of clear green water.
With such scenery, I stopped at the Panorama restaurant and I was meditating on the water. I think it served me a breaded and the beer was good. But that was the least important.
This road crossed me with hundreds of bikes of all kinds and shape, with all possible plates. I feel biker - despite being on four wheels - greeted them all as the staff of the bikes do.
Munich is chaotic, with works on all major arteries. Nevertheless, the city is essential. Huge churches, as well as the main buildings, showing the might of the Empire.
The city is multicultural, few Germans and I met on the street, in comparison with tourists and emigrants.
Speaking of emigrants, I saw a tiny manifestation, where a spokesman said the Islamic State was identical to National Socialism. Across side of manifestation, behind the riot police, a group of young people with Arab appearance were trying to make more noise than speaker. I think it would be more police than demonstrators, powders and against.
After strolling through the gardens along the river went to the market, drink a beer.
Tomorrow, before you go home, I go to the BMW museum.

11.6.15 - Memmingen | Salzburg

I went back to all four wheels!
By a series of mishaps, on this tour at the East, I don`t have a bike. However, the pleasure of taking air in the face is so much that ... I'll have an Audi TT.
As I left the airport, I stopped to put the stickers on the car. To the usual sponsors, I added a Rotary Club, the Cross Egypt Challenge and, for the unconditional support, a heart devoted to Chel and Drew.
After decorated car i made it to the road. I feel a child playing with the selector gear on the steering wheel. Just lke in a Playstation! In manual mode, reducing two speeds, it seems that you are a true race car: either by rotation or by rateres.
To Munich to lead a quiet 200 km / h. Not worth go faster. Then, traffic, rain and road works, considerably slowed down.
The first stage ended near Salzburg, a BB side of the highway.
Now it's time to rest tomorrow morning makes me the road on this mini GumBall 3000.
