Day 5: Thursday 27 September

A leisurely breakfast was followed by packing and attempting to get the numerous Glühwein mugs that we'd purchased into our bags!

Finally there was no rain so it was a fairly pleasant walk to the main railway station to catch the Lufthansa Express to the airport. At €13 each for the 45 minute journey, it was good value.

Munich Airport is really lovely and it was fairly quiet. We successfully checked in our bags including Chris and Sarah's who were given the option to check-in their wheely bags for free.

Security was a breeze. We didn't need to remove anything from our bags. Sarah had to take off her Dr Martens again but that was fine.

Unfortunately our flight was delayed by 40 mins but, again, it was a comfortable.

Immigration was soon cleared, bags collected, car found and we were homeward bound with a quick stop at Macdonald's en route as we hadn't really eaten since breakfast.
