Europe White Christmas Adventures - Flying to Munich

After planning this holiday for nearly 9 months the day has finally arrived!! We organised a taxi to pick us up at our apartment to drive us to Penang airport. Then we have a flight from Penang - Singapore, Singapore - Frankfurt, and Frankfurt - Munich. All up about 18 hours of travel.

The flights were great. Lufthansa from Singapore - Frankfurt was fantastic. They had their Skynet Wifi which cost 14 Euro for 24 hours but so worth it. I had Declan sleeping on me and I had hardly any sleep so I just surfed the net and chatted to friends on Facebook, so was worth it!

Our only hiccup was that it took us forever to get through security at Frankfurt and then immigration so we missed our connecting flight to Munich. Lufthansa were great though and put us on the next flight which left 20 mins later which was great. Frankfurt - Munich is only a 30 mins flight, so it was great. We had no way of contacting our driver who was collecting us from Munich Airport so he wasn't waiting for us, so we ended up catching the train from the airport to our accommodation. It was actually quite easy and only a 300 metre walk from the train station to the hotel - so nice and easy!

The hostel / hotel we are staying in is Meininger City Center Hostel and we are staying in a family room - which is 2 rooms joined. One has a double bed, and the other has 2 sets of bunks. It also has an ensuite. It is quite good for the price and quite roomy. Very quiet considering it is a hostel. We are on the 6th floor which is great, except for yesterday when the lift was broken!! The staff are lovely and it has a baby play area down stairs in the lobby with a 24 hour cafe which is very handy! It also has a "guest kitchen" which is handy for storing food. I will do a separate post on the hostel later on!
