We arrived Munich Germany. The plane was 30 mins late. Not bad for Easyjet. We took the S bahn to Munchen haupbanhof - Main train station. Then the local train to Garmisch Partenkirchen. Sad to say we passed the horrific rail accident. We had to get a bus after derailment straight to our hotel. Tonight we had Duck and red cabbage and a few Weizen beirs. SUPER night.
