We're here! Our flight was great, non-stop, 11 or so hours from SF to Munich. Don't get me wrong-- it was still cramped with no leg room and the food was less than mediocre, but where it counts it was great. Smooth take-off and landing, very quiet flight with hardly any turbulence. We really like Lufthansa air bus. After arrival, we were driven to our hotel Ecklemann by Rolf, our BMW host. He drove us through downtown Munich on the way and then spent a little time with us to help with maps, trains, and sights of interest. He was wonderful! Our hotel is okay. Not the "Ritz", but not the "Prince" either! (The Prince in Paris, for those who haven't heard the story, was a 1 or 2 star hotel with peeling wallpaper, crumbling plaster, dilapidated white lattice decor on the stairway, no air, and a washing machine in the window--it was, however, very clean, just no frills).
Haven't taken any pics yet, and too tired to do so now. Tomorrow we will do a walking tour of Munich and post some pics after. Gute nacht!
Hello,
ReplyDeleteLast night I dreamed I was in Germany. Is that a coincidence? So pleased to learn that you arrived safely. We are envious. The picture of the car and your special treatment by BMW are truly a PR campaign. We are sold.
I cannot wait to see some pictures.
Continue to have fun and know that all your bases are covered here at home.
Love ya both,
Paula
Me again,
ReplyDeleteI forgot to mention that I love the colors and the hint of a global map for your blog background. Tasteful, so you.
