Getting to Germany (Part 2)

 We arrived!  Only about 5 hours later than planned, we arrived in Munich.  After a few nervous moments around the baggage carousel(why is it always MY bag that comes out last and 5 minutes after everyone else?), we were immediately met by our local tourguide, Christine.  Another belated group arrived within just a few minutes, and bags and tourists were tossed into a waiting van for the trip to our hotel.  Snow was heavier than in Amsterdam, and quite a bit had accumulated.  After a quick walk around the hotel area to point out the entrance to the U-Bahn, ATM, etc. we were once more on our own.  First thought was to collapse into bed, but when we starting recalling the past 24 hours, realized we had not eaten anything in some time.  Nobody could say exactly how long, because none of our brains were dealing very well with the jet lag and fatigue.  We went across the street to a local restaurant and had some wonderful food which revived everyone to the point where they attacked me with snowballs as we left the gasthaus.
