Whilst we loved our few days in Vienna we looked forward to our next city Prague. We had heard so many positives about it that we happily boarded our train bound for Prague with very fond memories of our first and hopefully not last visit to Vienna.
The train ride provided Four hours to do some reading about Prague, rework my next article for The Adelaide Review, and do a little catch up on work ( yes I know it’s holidays).
The train journey was enjoyable
In the words of the British Band Ultravox, “Oh Vienna”. What a breathtaking city.
We arrived by train. Four or so hours from Munich, just sit back and enjoy the scenery whizz by.
Whether it was the fact that we had been without our luggage for a for a few days, I am not sure but I found a weird fascination with the amount of luggage everyone has including ourselves.
I was asking myself important questions like
Just like us the passenger in this plane only has his carry on luggage to accompany him!
That said, this is all about to be rectified
I could easily have titled this post – We are in Europe, I hope our luggage is too!
After two days, four flights and an opportunity to watch Les Miserables twice, we are in Europe with a change of clothes in our carry on bags and assurance from the Munich Airport Unclaimed
Luggage staff that our bags are here too – just not with us!
The lesson instilled into us many years ago of having a change of clothes and toiletries has paid off. We can get by for a day or so whilst our luggage hopefully finds us. Shame we didn’t pack our European Plug!
In any event we are in Munich,
Days like today just confirm how far Australia is from Europe!
Two long flights and we are only in Dubai!
We arrived mid afternoon and headed straight for the hotel. and a shower. The shower was fantastic, but the taxi was my first “whoops”moment of the trip. Got scammed by one of the limmo drivers who approached us just as we were walking out of the terminal. His fee was more than double the two other taxi fares we had during the afternoon.
Not sure why I fell for it – I’m putting it down to sleep deprivation.
