Wed-Thur Flying

Jeff got us to the air port at 0645 Wed.  Colo Spgs to Dulles on United, on a 66-passenger Canadair Regional Jet, 3-hour layover, SAS Airbus 330 to Copenhagen, another 3-hour layover, SAS Canadair to Muncih, landing at 1230.  Wonderful crews, SAS fed us well, but seats were miserable, crowded & not well padded.  We asked for a large rental car to accomodate us plus Jay & Fran; our VW Passat or better turned out to be a Ford Galaxie minivan, 6-speed diesel.  Marie & I drove to Landshut, spent the afternoon walking around the Old City, no camera because we were too tired to take pictures.  We enjoyed the walk nonetheless, & found a very nice hotel & restaurant in a newer section of Landshut.

Tomorrow evening we pick up Fran & Jay & family at the München Hauptbahnhof; we hope to get in a bus tour of Munich before then.  Marie's back is really bothering her, so we won't "hop on / hop off" as much as we have in other cities.
