figarofigaro1We had some public transit adventures getting to the airport. We got on the same bus that we'd taken from the airport and when we got on and were moving, we realized that there were two buses, one for each terminal. We figured, "Oh, well. We have a 50/50 chance of getting to the right one." We didn't go to the right one. So then we had to walk a pretty far distance to get to the bus that went from one terminal to another. Whew! Glad we allowed a lot of time.
Then we got to the right terminal and there was a huge group of people clogging up the one line for check-in for the cheap seats. Luckily we were the second ones back from it all, but it was an exercise in patience waiting. I can only imagine how antsy and irate folks were who ended up being 50 people back in the line. But we made it through everything in plenty of time.
We flew to Munich first. The views out the window of the alps were gorgeous. I wonder if we flew over Mont Blanc. Then it was on to Boston and gaining six hours back. It seemed like a very long flight and I was ready to be done about two hours before it was over. I did finish the third book of the Hunger Games. I also watched the Tin Tin movie, slept, listened to opera, played some games. There was wi-fi, but it was very expensive, so I didn't pay for it.
Back in Boston we again took public transportation to the Hotel Commonwealth. Dinner was at Island Creek Oyster House, which is attached to the hotel, so it was easy to be jet lagged and still get some good dinner. We were so very tired, having been up for twenty-two hours. I took a quick bubble bath to ease my aching muscles and then crashed into the big comfortable bed.
