From Munich to Milan


We're off to Milan this afternoon, but I realise that we have not said much about our time in Munich. I suppose it's because we haven't done much here except relax!

One highlight - which was most awesome - was the Deutsches Museum. It was so good, that we ended up being kicked out at the end of the day.

We spent most of our time in the astronomy section, where there were an amazing array of instruments on display, including some from the time of Galileo!

I also loved the section on clocks. They were just beautiful. They had pocket watches back to 1500! I had no idea they dated back so far.

We also had a moment to check out telecommunications, weights and measures, agriculture and food technology (i.e. beer and Jagermeister), and maths (with engrossing hands on puzzles). Unfortunately we ran out of time for musical instruments, pharmacy and scientific instruments. Next trip, I guess!

The early adventures of the evil-ninja-pirate LeChat

A series of photos depicting the adventures of the evil-ninja-pirate LeChat in Europe...

LeChat emerges from where he stowed away. Warm and snuggly though it was, he looks on to new territories to terrorise.

After hours of wenching, pillaging and meowing to be let inside, LeChat ponders modern art in Paris.


LeChat grows restless having merely conquered Paris. He waits for his train to Germany and to conquer his destiny.


After Munich falls to his stealthy swashbuckling, LeChat tries to make sense out of a German computer game.
