It was a successful landing in Germany after the almost 9 hour flight (Munich is 6 hours ahead of east coast time). Everything was going smooth until we got to baggage claim and none of the groups’ luggage seemed to coming out. Our luggage was literally the last twenty pieces to come out! The drive to the hotel took about 45 minutes and then we found out our rooms were ready. This was around 9 a.m., so we moved the bike tour up to 11:30 a.m. A little jet lagged, we hoped on bikes ready to see the city. The tour guide was actually from Hawaii, but has been living in Germany for 9 years. The four hour tour which navigated four miles in Munich took us to see many historical buildings, the second largest beer garden in the world (we made a bit stop here) and to a spot in the river where you can surf a wave that is made by the flow of water there.

After completing to tour it was time to check in at the hotel. The rooms are okay, but there is no air conditioning, so it’s a little hot. At least the window opens to let in the breeze. A quick bit to eat this evening and then tomorrow marks the start of our projects. Wish us luck.
