The Neanderthal Museum

   We took a trip just down the road to the Neanderthal Museum in Mettmann Germany. It is unanimous! the museum gets two thumbs down from every one in our family. With your tickets you get headphones (in English) to plug into outlets stationed at each exhibits. Looking forward to not having to read every plaque I eagerly plugged mine into the jack, only to here an endless drone of less than scientific facts about how they lived with no proof thereof. The museum wound around with more and more pointless propaganda and anti Christian monuments. We paid extra so the kids could go into an additional play area that was equally disappointing.
     So if you find yourself in the area save your self some euros and don't pay to enter, instead take a walk around the nature trails and creeks that show where the original bones were found. It was  a beautiful walk and it was free.
