after our 5 hour flight from sf to philly, a 12 hour layover , a wrong train and some crazy people not understanding you cant take water bottles on the plane, and 8 hours flight to germany...
we have finallyarrived in munich, or munchen as its called by the germans. this place is pretty awesome. we got off the plane found the train and headed on our way to the center of town. after a 40 min train ride we departed the train in marienplatz and gathered all our luggage and started off to find our hotel. after about 4 trips in the wrong direction and about 10 stops to re adjust our bags ( packing for 6 months leaves you with some heavy bags, a little to much to try backpacking around with, dont know how much we will actually travel before school starts, may just head to our base early) finally a lady on the street asked us if we needed any help, she lead us in the right direction which was get back on the train and go to stops back to Hauptbahnhof which is the acutal city center. We soon found our hotel. hotel monaco its a quaint little joint very homey feeling. the bed is rather comfortable and has down blankets, which is always nice. we treated ourselves a bit since we havent slept in the past 36 hours or so. we soon got to the room got cleaned up and fell right into bed. 9 hours later we awoke to growling stomaches and the need to get out. we wandered around town a bit, but everything was closed except for the indian restaurant across from our place. so needless to say our first german meal was chicken and beef curry at 1130 pm. we brough it back to the room where we sat and ate in a room with rose decorated curtains and this creepy baby angle chandiler above the bed. all in all excited to be here and ready to start this journey.
there is so much in store for us. the excitement to just be here, but what God is going to do and show us with being in YWAM is the best excitement of all. cant wait to get to the base and get this thing started.
well more from us later.....
