Last day in Munich, a little bit still left to cover.
Left early in the morning to visit the Englischer Garten. There are supposed to be quite a few nude sunbathers around but we were too early so only saw the exercise enthusiasts. On the river flowing through saw a group of people surfing on a wave that formed as the water gushed through the bridge. Most didn't stay up too long.
Saw the Chinese tower with the surrounding beer gardens, just being set up for the day. Then headed for our last museum.
The Alte Pinakothek, had so much but the audio guide helped us concentrate on a few. Rembrandt is the artist known to have made the most self portraits , also put himself in some pictures ( like the crucification of Christ ). The self portrait of Albrecht Durer is quite enthralling. Ruben' s wives along with his other paintings also made good viewing. Cannot remember the artist or the name of the picture but there was a good one of a lion attacking a man and other men killing the lion.
Have really enjoyed our stay in Munich. Good food, beer, inexpensive ice cream and great sights along with helpful people.
