After a long 30 hours traveling, I finally arrived in Münich. It was an interesting trip to say the least. On arriving in Shanghi, we all had to go through immigration and collect our bags and re-check in. Immigration was fun. None of us who were transferring had visas or addresses to fill in on our arrival cards, so we were taken aside into another queue and the guys checked our passports and tickets. They kindly let us in. But you pick up pretty quick that the Chinese are not someone you want to mess with.

I had a two hour stop over in Shanghi, which was just enough to get through, pick up my bags and head to my gate. I think I had about 15 minutes to spare. It was another 12 hours to Zurich with a three hour stopover then a one hour flight to Münich.

Today, Verena and I went to the Olympic Park and went up the tower there and saw the view of the city. It unfortunately started raining just as we arrived so our pictures weren't so great. We then headed to town and checked out a couple of the old churches, watched the clock on the town hall play the glockenspiel. It only places twice a day. And we finished off the day by going to one of the beer gardens by the lake in the English garden. It was nice and relaxing sitting there by the lake.

Tomorrow morning I am off to Croatia for a week then I'm returning to Münich where Verena and I are planning on heading up to Berlin for a couple of days. Don't get too jealous of me now, holidays are hard work.
