Here we go again on our own

 

Hundreds of miles? Nope try about 16,000 kilometres. 
It was supposed to be an extravagance shared with my mum and dad, but unfortunately they were unable to join us.  So here we go and I really better keep the blog updated this time so I can share with them what they're missing. 

We flew via Singapore and Singapore Air. Really comfortable, even down the back of the (air)bus with attentive cabin crew who not only frequently offered food and drinks, but seemed to pop into the loos between every customer to freshen them.

I can highly recommend using the swimming pool in terminal 2 if you have a few hours to kill between flights, it was not only refreshing but we enjoyed a snack in the outdoor bar area and joined our second leg feeling ready for anything. Anything except the hell that is Lufthansa economy.



For a midnight flight you hope supper will come out swiftly. It didn't. But eventually we had a snack and tried to get some sleep. Full flight and seats so close together MY knees were hitting the seat in front. A little bit of turbulance but not too bad. Unfortunately the loos were neglected and smelly and cabin service rare. We did like the water bottles that were provided on each seat but they were pretty much the only amenity on offer! 12 hours (or was it 200) later once the seat belt signs were off they started breakfast service. I'd love to review it but I don't know what it was as we didn't get any. Yep the Captain told them to stop serving and get ready to land before they got to the peasants. 

Arrived in Munich on a cold morning tired and hungry and Matt was sad it was so early the beer and sausage van he's previously visited was still shut!

Bags duly dumped for the morning at the HBH (storage 3 for 6 hours) we set off for coffee and orientation then off for a walk to the Vikualienmarkt before our train trip onwards to Quedlinburg
