Sunday/ arrived in Munich

S Bahn train at airport station — This is the S Bahn (suburban train) that took me from the airport to Ostbahnhof in the east of the city where my Marriott Courtyard hotel is.

I arrived in Munich early Sunday morning. It is 32 F (0 C) outside, quite a change from the very muggy Johannesburg thunderstorm air we had when we boarded. The customs clearance and baggage claim process in Munich took all of 15 mins – amazing, might have been the quickest ever for me.

Green refrigerator — This cool green refrigerator was right there at the baggage carousel, as a marketing/ advertising placement by the manufacturer.

Tintin's rocket? — This sure looks like Tintin’s rocket in Destination Moon. This is just outside Terminal 2 on the way to the train station.

Airbus A330-200 Twin Jet — Our South African Airbus A330-200 after we arrived from the terminal shuttle bus. I guess two engines suffice because we did not really fly over water. But the seats were very comfortable and the service was excellent.

Munich airport baggage carousel — Welcome in Munich, says the sign (obviously) .. the buildings are all from around Marienplatz, the old city town square.
