Munich Germany
May 30th, 2016 through June 3rd, 2016
I had the opportunity to fly over to Munich, Germany for some business meetings with a few of our customers.
Memorial Day Monday, May 30th, 2016
JC and I left GSP (Greenville-Spartanburg Airport) on Sunday afternoon and arrived in Munich on Monday Morning. Since we didn't have any meetings until Tuesday, we had almost the whole day to explore the city of Munich.
Here on some shots from Monday, May 30th:

On our 2nd day in Munich we did not have any business meetings scheduled until the afternoon, so JC and I took the opportunity to head downtown and explore a little. Most of our time was spend strolling around the English Gardens which is about 1,000 acres of Green Space in downtown Munich.

Many of the pedestrian/bike paths go under the roads.
Most of these tunnels feature some really cool Graffiti Artwork
I also decided to climb to the top of the Church of Saint Peter tower which offered an awesome 360-degree view of Munich!

I was on my own for Wednesday Morning, and since the Munich
Olympiapark (site of the 1972 Summer Olympics) was located right across the
street from our Hotel, I decided to take a hike through the park.

BMW World is right outside the Olympiapark, so I decided to check that out as well.
I also decided take the elevator to the top of the Olympiaturm (the Olympic Park Tower) which is the tallest structure in Munich. The view was worth the 7 Euros!

Later that afternoon, I met back up with my colleagues for a little off-site strategy / team bonding session. We took a drive to the Andechs Monastry and Brewery about an hour outside of Munich. Leave it to the German Monks to have a beautiful church with a Brewery in the basement!

Thursday was all business and therefore no photos.
Friday, June 3rd, 2016
Friday, we had a visit scheduled with one of our
customers near Stuttgart (about 200 km outside of Munich). It looked like a long drive on the map, but
Roland took us up to 210 kph (about 130 mph) on the Autobahn and we made it
there in no time! That was by far the fastest
I have ever travelled in an automobile!

We were done with work for the week so JC and I decided to take one more ride on the U to downtown Munich. We picked up some last minute Souvenirs, and watched the storm clouds roll in while hanging out at a Biergarten.

We were treated to an awesome rainbow and nice sunset. The perfect way to end our trip to Munich.

This was a very enjoyable and productive trip! Even though this was a business trip, I very much appreciated the opportunity to have a little time to explore the city of Munich!
