Arriving in Germany

I couldn't remember what I put in the last post, so I've repeated some I'm sure...

Well, I’ve arrived safe and well in Germany, after a loooonnnngg flight. I asked for an exit row seat, but the last one (apparently) was given away to the tall guy in front of me. I got my minimum requirement of an aisle seat….in the second last row of the whole plane. From Melbourne to Singapore I watched 3 movies (Happy Feet, Pursuit of Happyness, Flushed Away - this one I watched in German). Got some awesome Cadbury Hot Chocolate on the way…yum!
The leg from Singapore to London wasn’t quite so comfortable. I had the little British girl behind me kicking my seat every now and then, a big bloke sitting next to me (from Melb it was some skinny, young Swedish dude), and screaming kids always being brought to the back of the plane to be ‘soothed’. So I couldn’t really sit straight, couldn’t sleep proper, but I did watch another 3 movies (Employee of the Month, Man of the Year, Jindabyne).

So by the time it came to the London to München (Munich) flight, I ended up sleeping the whole way just about. This was a British Airways flight and the food was terrible - some bacon and tomato sauce thing in a crap ‘bread’ roll. Qantas food was so much better.

Then there was a train ride to Nürnberg - man the trains are smooth, fast and quiet! And of course they are spot on time. My cousin, Hans, picked me up, we went shopping and then to his place which is my home for the next few months.

In the early evening I went for a walk to visit my Mum’s cousin and quickly say hello. We went for a walk to collect her car from the mechanic so by the time I got home (about 8pm) I was soooo tired. I ended up falling asleep in front of the TV but went to bed soon after.
