Train day again! This time heading to Munich. We again tried to figure out the maze of a station in Berlin but soon we found our train! We are going on two trains today, which is strange since the first one actually goes straight through to our destination but the guy who issued our tickets has given us one where we get off and go onto the next train to arrive in Munich … ahhh ok? No worries! First part was ok! Sleeping on trains is painful, as you wake you realise part of your body isn’t getting any blood circulation and you spend the next 10 minutes trying to get movement in your arms and legs haha! no fun!
The second train ride was worse! We were issued a booth, which normally we would be happy about! and looking at the sign we were the only ones to reserve a seat, but the entire booth was filled with peoples stuff, only two people were in there but someones stuff was in every inch of the carriage and we had to put our big bag under our feet. One of our seats was taken by someone, she moved out of our booth with no bother. The other seat was taken by someones belongings. We just sat at the two spare seats at the side we weren’t bothered about who got what seat. Turns out theres a family sitting in those seats but they have gone to go get food and will be back. They didn’t mind taking up every little bit of room before they left though. The worst bit was there were people standing in the isles looking at us thinking we were the rude ones sprawling our stuff all over the seats so no one could sit. When they came back Urghhh I can’t describe how annoying they were! It was a mother and two little girls who would not stop humming, singing loudly and jumping around. The mother had no control, she didn’t seem to mind them doing it anyway. This I could normally cope with, I was a pretty annoying child myself once but the thing that really annoyed me was that the little girls kept passing wind … These booths don’t have much air and it was constant! It took the mother till about 2 hours of this to tell her daughter to go to the toilet but mann! If I spoke German I would have told her myself! It was a pretty horrible time! I mean come on! Change their diet or something lady! Horrible!
We got to Munich and just breathed fresh air for a while haha then we caught a cab to our hotel because it was pretty warm today and walking didn’t seem like any fun.
The hotel is OK we have obviously been to better, but there is a bed and it is clean and thats the main thing! We chilled out for a while, exhausted from lack of sleep. Then we headed to a little Italian restaurant around the corner.

Wind and children go together…. Try being in a classroom with 25 of them after lunch ha!ha! Well you haven’t altered my already jaded views on train travel. Kirsten and I had similar experience in the UK I think Dad and I have become travel snobs and like comfort and quiet. Last week on the red eye to Melbourne we had two guys making loud comments about Mckenzie being on the plane and being a possible disturbance.I jokingly told them not to keep the baby awake when they said they were in the row in front of us.Mckenzie slept all night….these dicks yibbled and yibbled, obviously excited and being let loose from their wives to go to the Eagles game. By 2am I was ready to crack their heads together. Bet they were hungover and tired the next day..I certainly hope so as I think they would have kept half the plane awake.Talking about being awake It’s 4.30 am here and I can’t sleep as your Dad is doing the “Phfffff” snore followed by the “death rattle” My elbows are worn out nudging him so I have given up. I was feeling quite annoyed when I first woke up as I thought it was a work day… Felt a bit better when I realised that it wasn’t. Keep the blogs coming. Love you lots. Mum xx( and Snorty-Dad xxx)
