Both flights went well and no delays. We arrived in Munich, Germany and were greeted by my Cousin's Manuela and Ade. They are brother and sister.... and have always been more of a brother and sister to me than a cousins. Ade has a new Hyundai SUV and Manu had her 2nd car so we were able to get our 5 large luggage pieces and 4 small luggage pieces into their vehicles plus us!
Ade drove the guys ( Me, Tom and Carlos ) and Manu drove the girls ( Bonnie and Miah )
. Ade drove very fast to beat the girls back to Manu's apartment, but missed our exit! So of course the girls beat us and we got stuck in traffic. The guys finally arrived and brought our luggage up. We will all be staying at Manu's apartment and Manu will stay at her boyfriend Han's house.
After settling in, each of us had a beverage of our choice. I grabbed an Augustiner Beer and gave a little to the Travel gnome a he was thirsty as well. Ade had an eye doctor appointment with Manu's boyfriend who is an eye surgeon, so Manu and Ade left for that around 12:00 pm. The rest of us finished our drinks and left for the mall, a short 15 minute walk away.
At the mall we split up for 30 minutes so Miah could look around on her own. A couple of places had some nice Laderhosen (Men's Octoberfest leather shorts outfit) and Dirndl (women's Octoberfest dress) for sale. they were nice but a bit pricey ($170 - $500) for something you may only wear once a year. Bonnie bought a Traditional German cook book for a co-worker and we met up with Miah.
We took the subway on the way back as Miah didn't wear any socks and was getting a blister on her heel. When we got back, Manu and Ade were there to greet us once again. Tom and I headed out to buy some beer. We found some and bought 6 for only around $9. The same price I paid for a single beer at the airport. We took these back to Manu's place and talked until I started falling asleep. Someone took the liberty to place a tiny hat on my head to make me look silly. I decided it was time for sleep and headed into the bedroom for some much needed rest.
Bonnie, Tom and Carlos went for a night stroll and apparently got lost. They used their phone GPS to find their way back.
