We've arrived in Europe!!!

We left Charlotte yesterday around 5pm and arrived in Munich this morning about 7am local time. The flight was pleasantly uneventful.......which does not mean that Kinga did not experience a few "white knuckle" moments.......especially on take off! Our jet was one of the newest and biggest in the Lufthansa fleet......a real "sky cadillac".

Here is the picture of the Munich Central Station.

After arriving in Munich we got our luggage and headed for the train station which is right next door to the airport. We needed to take a train to the Munich Central Station and then on to Salzburg. We were told that all trains go through the Central station. Once we got there we had to wait an hour for the train to Salzburg. We spent most of that time looking for a storage place for one of our suitcases as we are only taking two smaller ones for this part of the trip.

The train ride from Munich to Salzburg took about 1.5 hrs.

Here is the inside of our train.

After arriving in Salzburg we walked to our hotel, which was only about 2 blocks from the train station.

Here is the picture of our room. We were exhausted and had to take a nap. After getting about 2 hrs of sleep we felt more refreshed and went our to explore Salzburg.

Here are some pictures from today.

Do you recognize this fountain from "The Sound of Music" movie?

  2. Awww so sweet :) I can't believe how empty Munich airport looks it's never like that when we are there??? Sounds like everything went very well and now you are at the start of your journey. Have a great time you two and thanks for the blog this is really cool to be able to follow along, especially as you go to places I have just been recently and of course places I have not been in a long time. Enjoy, play and relax as it should be!!! M
