Day Forty-Three: Olympic Park And Fishy Jokes

7/28/15, 9:29 PM CET

Munich hosted the Olympics in 1972. In preparation for the event, they built a huge, beautifully-designed Olympic stadium, a park, and a giant tower specifically for the event.

But now that the 1972 Olympics are over, it has now essentially turned into an amusement park.

Still, it looks incredible.

The stadium, I mean, not the cheap-looking amusement park rides.

It's still a very pretty park though. One of the highlights was this Olympic tower that they had that didn't really serve much of a purpose other than a pretty viewpoint or a place for an Assassin to leap off.

This isn't the tower, this is actually
a leak for Assassin's Creed 8: Combine.

Look at the view!

BMW Museum.

The actual interior of the Olympic Stadium.

I had to dangle my camera off the edge for this photo, so APPRECIATE IT.

Joby had some fun too.

He got a bit tired from the climb.

So I helped him sightsee. And yes, I treat him like a human being.

Monkey see, monkey like.

So there's only one way up to this tower, and that's by elevator, which is a bit dangerous because in the case of a fire that makes the electricity fail, we all would be dead, right?

Wrong. They have a giant slide installed on the side of the building. And when it isn't burning down, they let tourists slide down it. So you know what? WE DID.

Amazingly, all of our hairdos stayed intact
from the crazy fast speeds we felt.

Oh and they had a VERY pretty aquarium in there. It was the Sea Life in Munich, and for you San Diegans reading my blog, you might also recognize that there's a Sea Life in Legoland and yes, it's the same thing. Legoland operates this one too, and since my parents already saw the Sea Life in San Diego, they decided it would be best if just my sister and I went.

So we did. And with no parents to limit us, we went crazy.

We saw some pretty (underwater) rooms they had, which were AWESOME.

It just blue Joby's mind to sea this. HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

But I think the highlight of the aquarium trip was these videos that my sister and I made.

First, we tried to communicate with fish.They didn't seem to like it very much though.

And then we saw the eels. Which meant...

Later on, we did some light sightseeing, mostly taking a look at this pretty garden.

What'd I tell you about fountains and the leftmost third?

Flowers also make things a little prettier.

And we saw STREET PERFORMERS. These guys apparently are on your across Europe and they were great becaus they had cute little choreographed movements with their songs.

And they also had a monkey playing the cymbals!

They were very surprised to see each other.
