Each in their own way, the travellers have made it. Some got lucky - upgrades to First Class over the pond, fully reclining seats, filet mignon; other got delayed, missed connection, got rebooked on another delayed flight, etc. 15 of us got here, got our hotels, got our fisrt, second and third, ... beers.
Great to see each other, and much time spent catching up with each others stories - over beer und food of course. Some place, like the tents at Weisn (Oktoberfest grounds) are to loud to do much catching up, so are better to enjoy with singing and clapping, and a beer.
Weather has really worked out so far. Light drizzle the first day, but a fine day yesterday. Jane headed off to Salzburg, saw the Eagle's Nest and got snowed on. Sam and Jim trained up to Wurzberg, rented a car and went to the old Dell family town. For others, HofBrauHaus, and an attempt at Wa-Wi - a very large bier garden in the suburbs of Munich.
We took the trip out there, walked in the fine eveniing. Got there and the grounds were closed, the restaurant fully reserved for a group! Very ticked! Take away one mug of their rating!!
Off for now.
