The next day Conny drove us out to Chiemsee, a large lake about an hour outside of Munich in the Bavarian countryside. Chris’s Uncle Andreas, Conny and Sabrina’s father, owns a couple sailboats at the lake and an electric boat (gasoline boats are prohibited). In the middle of the lake are two islands — the Herreninsel with Ludwig II’s Herrenchiemsee palace, and the Fraueninsel with a village and several restaurants.
The four of us clambered into the electric motorboat and puttered out to one of Andreas’s favorite restaurants on the Fraueninsel, had a lunch of beer, fish and potatoes and then boated back. Andreas took a nap on the back of the boat on the way back and let Chris finish the leisurely drive. 
Then we drove back to Munich, after stopping at a dirndl store to pick up a spare apron for Sabrina. We dropped off the car and took the Munich transit system (U-bahn and S-bahn) to the Pinakothek Moderne — driving to the museum was out of the question because the Oktoberfest traffic was snarling driving and parking for mile around. The museum houses a huge permanent design exhibit, an architecture gallery, and many modern artists, such as Picasso, Warhol, Magritte, Klee, etc. The design section had a large modern jewelry show including these crazy rings. 
Sharon plotzed.
We then had dinner at a large Bavarian restaurant with Conny. Lots of pork, dumplings, cabbage salad and beer. 
Tomorrow, Octoberfest!
