Water under Tower

For lunch we went to a really old restaurant in Munich today. It was called “Alter Wirt” and it opened in 1417!!! I had my usual Schnitzel again. (Tobias: yes, this place is almost 600 years old. It was renovated a few times since it opened, but it’s still in the same spot as always. Google+ page for the restaurant).

Then we went to the place where the Olympic Summer Games of 1972 took place. Here is a view of the park:

Inside the park was the SeaLife show (Tobias: link). We saw all sorts of fish from different places all around the world. You could even touch some of them. My favorite fishes were the big carps. I also like the octopus, the jelly fish and sea turtles.

Here are some pictures and videos:

And finally we went up to the top of the Olympic Tower. It took only 35 seconds to get to 190 m (Tobias: ~ 570 feet). We could not go outside, because it was very icy and the door was locked. So we went to the restaurant one floor below, got a piece of cake and a drink. The restaurant spins slowly. Maybe you can see it below (Tobias: Pia is in the restaurant. Her feet are on the floor of the restaurant (rotating) and her shoulders are against the wall (standing still):

When we went back to the car we stopped at the BMW place (Tobias: BMW headquarters, factory, museum, exhibition). I sat in a few cars:
