Expanding your mind, smacking your head!

There are some wonderful things in the world. We have come to realise that many of the places we have been lucky enough to visit, are wonderful places. In and amongst the wonderful places, are fascinating places. Again we have been lucky enough to visit some of these places. The Deutches Museum in Munich is one of these places. A regular museum that has been super sized. It is apparently the best museum in Germany. We are woefully qualified to agree or disagree, but it was such an amazing place that it has taken two days of our time. A child's paradise of things to view and touch and see and do about the world in which we live. A real excitement of engineering, human achievements and the know how behind our world. Jasper and Maya had a thoroughly enjoyable day as did we. Jasper was most fascinated by the Zepplins of the early 20th century.

And so it was, mining, tunnels, oil, engineering, metals, machinery, aeronautics, space, astronomy, clocks, cameras, future, energy, printing, paper, and the list goes on. All comprehensively covered with superb exhibits in a massive space.

Clare stuck in a guitar 'Borrowers' stylie!

A major recommendation if you happen to be in the area young or old! I guess the only problem is that safety is your own responsibility in this place. I appreciate such things, where the owner of the body has to do a bit of thinking to ensure that personal care is taken into account and am often saddened by barriers of rope or endless signs and stickers on exhibits. Sadly for me, the owner of the body that writes this message didn't have quite enough foresight to see the 'Junkers' plane in the vast hall of planes as my head smacked the wing. After a rapid and disguised move to make it look like 'I knew that was going to happen,' I rounded the tail of the vehicle to find Clare, Jasper and Maya looking at me and then saying, "I think somebody has just walked into this plane." I did own up then and there as my head needed a bit of a rub out of view whilst I could digest the pain. Just watch out for the Junkers planes, they jump out at you!
