Bonn; Sunday, 11 July, 2010

An early checkout as there was still quite a bit I wanted to see (and there was a coach party supposed to be checking out at 9 so I wanted to avoid the massive queue). I zipped over to the Hauptbahnhof to drop off my luggage into the lockers there and then caught the U-Bahn south to the first stop of the day, the Deutsche Museum Bonn.

With almost perfect timing I arrived just moments after the museum opened so for some time was the only visitor going round. From the Deutsche-Museum I headed over to the Stadt Museum and managed to repeat the same trick arriving just as it opened.

From there it was a short walk over to the Egyptian museum where I was probably the second visitor of the day as there was one person leaving as I arrived, and nobody else inside.

I had a quick look around the museum and then hopped back on the U-Bahn south to Bad Godesberg to have a look around the castle ruins.

From Bad Godesberg it was back north to the Hauptbahnhof and over to the LandesMuseum, the last museum of the day.

In the end I didn’t have enough time to do the LandesMuseum justice as I had to head back to the station to pick up my luggage and head back to the airport and my flight home.
