Germany – On our way to München

Today starts Ericka’s vacation and we are on our way via train to Munich, Germany.

This starts out with our tickets to the main train station, Frankfurt Hbf, using the regional line. Once there we had a quick bite to eat and jumped on our ICE train (high speed, hmmm, er not quite) to Munich.

Patti and Ericka settling in for the three hour ride. Ericka was actually on her phone more than reading that book! ?Well at the moment we have run into a bit of a problem, after Aschaffenburg a fire somewhere ahead has broken out and delayed our train. In the meantime they have backed our train up a bit and stopped at Laufach, so that we may stretch our legs.

Yeah, its not Würzburg or Munich.

While outside we had some time to enjoy the beautiful Spring weather.

Our stay at Laufach was just around an hour long.

The gorgeous countryside just outside Lohr am Main reminds me a lot of Copake and the Berkshire mountains. The Main river down here reminds me more of a stream than a river. The one thing I did forget was how many tunnels were on this line when I last took it five years ago..!

Well we have to switch trains in Nürnberg, thank you fire.

Though technically not the one they told us to take.   It is an ICE train and it’s headed to München Hbf!

Finally, after five and a half hours, München and the promise of a hotel room and beer!
