Day Two – First day in Munich

28 Aug 2018

We left Sydney at 3pm on Monday, 27th August. We had a 3 hour layover in Singapore. Changi Airport has plenty to do and see. We relaxed in the Singapore Airlines lounge for a bit before boarding the flight just after midnight for Munich.

We arrived into Munich at 6:45am on Tuesday, 28th August. We caught the airport shuttle which was going to Munich Central station as the final destination. Our hotel is opposite the station. To our surprise, the drop-off (and pick-up) point is just across the road from the hotel. The hotel check-in time is 2pm. We decided to walk around Munich with a map to see as much of the town as possible. According to our tracker, we walked for a good 8 kms and saw most of central Munich. There is a lot of old Munich town. Lots of historical buildings. This is also the birthplace of the 3rd Reich.

We got back to the hotel after lunch at about 1:30pm. Our room was ready and we decided to shower and have a bit of rest.

One thought on “Day Two – First day in Munich”

Well my phone tracker says we walked 12 kilometres during the day. We then a rest and took off again, tracker says 19 kilometres all up. This is after flying for a day beforehand, no wonder I’m tired. Munich is so full of everything, loving it.
