Surprise Visitors

With the volcano erupting travel in Europe was starting to become chaotic.  Thursday night I got a call from Craig and Sue who were supposed to be in London to say they were now in Frankfurt and were due in to fly from London to Rome on Sunday.  So Friday afternoon they headed down to Munich to come and stay for a couple of nights.  The main train station in Munich was extremely busy as the airport in Munich was still running, it closed that night.  Though busy it was all running very smoothly and it was great to see Craig and Sue arrive.  They had to stand all the way from Frankfurt having spent the night in Bonn.
A very tiring trip so the best idea for Saturday was to sort out trains for Sunday then head to one of the biggest beer gardens, Augustiner Keller.  The beer gardens had just opened so it was good timing.  We had a great day with Craig and Sue - long lunch, then a wander through the city and the English Garden before finding another beer garden.

  1. Thanks so much to Ingrid and Malcom for their generous hospitality in our hour of need. It was great to catch up with them both and we thoroughly enjoyed our couple of days together. The beer, food and company was a great start to our holiday in Europe. Craig and Sue
