Germany!!!

Hi all,
We had a blast in Germany. the BMW musium was not finished yet so we had to make do with the make-shift one which was good anyway. It only cost 2 euro anyway.
The weather was aweful. It rained the whole time but we still managed to see all we wanted to.
We went to the BMW factory yesterday. I thought a 2 - 3 hour tour in a factory was goint to be a struggle for me, but i loved it heaps. I cant say i loved it as much as Ben did... But i was so amazed at how they pump out over 850 3 series per day! It was amazing to see 12 robots working on 1 car at the same time and they were mm perfect. No crashing into eachother! It was awesome to see the paint shop and how it all works and the best part was watching the body of the car being put together. I never ever heard of spot welding before and now i know how a BMW is held together! So i guess you can say we really really enjoyed the trip to Germany. I will hopefully put some pics up for you all soon. We are at the Globetrotters Hostel at the moment and you are not aloud to use your own laptops in the computer room so ill have to go to an internet cafe! We love and miss you all! We are on Holidays YAY.
PS Being back in London is really breaking the bank :(

    Yay for having fun at the BMW factory. I too would have thought it'd be boring. So glad it wasn't. It's gotta be weird seeing how they're put together when you're so used to seeing the finished product.

    What a bum that the weather was poo! I can just imagine Ben - a kid in a candy store! I love the machines! When we went to the Cadbury factory, they had similar machines! And the machine can sense which way the dairy milk tray is sitting, and it spinns the individual chocolate around and puts it in it's place...amazing!
    Miss ya babe.
