Onwards
to Germany - 26th May 2011
Our research had indicated that Mittenwald was a particularly cute
Bavarian town and only 150 km from Munich Airport where we have to ditch
our car. Sadly we could only spend two nights in Bavaria but we're glad
we made the effort. We feel that there's much more good stuff to
see in Bavaria but as we are unlikely to make it back there again, we'll
leave it to some of you dear newsletter readers to go there on our
behalf and report back to us in due course.

It seems like Bavarian goat

Any there any Chinese cafes in town? You must be joking

On our last day in Germany we had to drive to a place 8km from Munich
Airport and hand over our car to Citroen's agents in that city. It was
Saturday afternoon and pouring rain. Nevertheless we had a 5.00pm
appointment at a designated location so we were only a tiny bit anxious.
When we got to the location the parking lot was barred by a boom-gate
and no one was there to meet us, inspect the car, take the keys and sign
us off. Furthermore the location was on a seedy little dirt road in a
deserted location. Surely we wouldn't be forced to just walk away and
leave the car out on the lane? And certainly NOT whilst they are holding
an imprint of our credit card !! Whoops, up went our stress meters!!
Well,
I'm too tired now to explain how we worked our way around the problem
but the good part was that at least a taxi eventually arrived (only 15
minutes late) and we were indeed delivered to our Munich Airport hotel
free of charge as originally promised. Anyhow,
early tomorrow morning (ie. 29th May) we boarded a flight from Munich to
Madrid so our next webpage will fill you in on what happened to us both
in Espania. Until then, enjoy life to the full and be kind to each
other.
