We arrived at Franz Josef Strauss Flughafen in München in one piece, and so did all of our luggage! Our flight landed at 10:15 on Friday morning so we had a few hours to kill before we could meet up with our host family. We became very familiar with this end of the airport. Fortunately we were able to take showers and freshen up after being awake for over 24 hours. Later that afternoon we crammed our luggage into a cab (Mercedes station wagon) and made our way to our new home in the München neighborhood of Pasing. As we sped along the autobahn to our new digs I (John) looked out the window and thought "hmmm, we're going awfully fast." I glanced at the speedometer and saw we were cruising along at about 160 km/hr. Normally I would have been scared to death to ride in a car at ~100 mph during rush hour, but I was too tired to care.
Planegger Straβe in Pasing, just west of the city center of München – our new neighborhood.

ReplyDeleteI LOVE PICTURES! And updates on how the two of you are doing, of course!! I think this blog is a splendid idea and I look forward to keeping up with your adventure this way. It is amazing that ALL of that luggage made it on the correct planes, to the correct destinations, at the correct times and all intact! I was wondering how that went, after the fun Laura had retrieving her suitcase post-honeymoon. Anyway, I am thinking of ya'll and wishing you many fun and exciting adventures!! Take care!!
