This day we started by taking the train from Oberammergau to Munich. It was a nice trip on the train. When we arrived at the main train station in Munich we then had to walk to the main square with the glockenspiel. It was quite a walk. Munich has changed in twenty years and there was lots of construction. We made it there and got some lunch and secured our spot to watch the clock.
Glockenspeil
This is the glockenspiel in Munich, Germany. It only chimes three tomes a day. It is a large cuckoo clock. The knights go around jousting and then one wins. The court jesters dance around. It is truly a things to see.
It is amazing the number of Germans that have never been to Munich or have seen the glockenspiel. It is fun to see, but I think the kids did not find it as interesting as the castles that we saw.
When the show was over, it takes about 11 minutes for the clock to do everything, we boarded the underground train and headed for the Palace Nymphenburg.
I will post about this palace next week. It will be longer than i want for this one. So please come back next week to see pictures and our adventure in the Palace Nymphenburg.
