Leaving Munich

We had planned to drive to our next stopping point first thing in the morning but made a quick diversion in order to see the Neue Pinakothek museum. Featured artists in this gallery were van Gogh, Toulouse Lautrec, Monet and Manet. It was quite small and due to time pressures we only saw about 1/2 of the paintings in display. Fiona made the quite understandable comment - "I don't want to see any more paintings mommy". I felt the same way too.

After this we began the drive back north and broke up the trip by spending the rest of the day at Legoland Germany. This was a lot of fun and the girls had a blast. There were many rides to enjoy but the highlight of the day was probably at the end when we looked at the Lego replicas they built of various towns around the world. It really was quite impressive. Mindy took more pictures of this than of the rest of Germany combined so you will all be able to share her passion for the models we saw.

From here, we went to Karlsruhe which will be our last stop on our tour. For dinner was the second worst Chinese food we have ever had but at 9:30pm we did not have many choices.
