Well we made it to Germany. We had to leave for the airport right after the kids got out of school. Our plane took off at 7pm and 16 hours (including a 4 hour layover in London) later we were in Munich. It was a really long day but thanks to air miles, at least the LAX to London part was in business class, so it was a lot more comfortable than normal. Unfortinaly our trip back is in economy, which is going to suck.
Our tour picked us up from Munich airport on Sunday morning and took us to the Landhaus Kossel where we are staying for our week here. That afternoon we went to a Christmas concert in a church built in the 1400s and then to dinner at a fish house. Our tour is just us and an older couple from Austrialia, Max and Hillary. Max is an interesting fellow with a lot of strong opinions about stuff.
One thing that has been really odd for us is that sunrise it right about 7:50am and sunset 4:30. Getting up in the pitch dark is kinda weird when it isn’t that early.
