Finally after weeks of preparation, planning and packing and transitioning our work responsibilities, we boarded our flight to Munich to start our 6 month travel. I guess we must’ve been quite exhausted, since both of us slept through most of the flight. Lufthansa rocks, the new airplane we flew in was great and thanks to Ruchi’s early check-in, we have awesome seats.

Landing the airport, we put our backpacks together and realized how much weight we’d brought along. Organizing them and arranging the weight distribution differently helped a lot. Traveling light isn’t easy. We’ve got a lot to learn.

Munich city welcomed us with rain, was fun getting drenched trying to find our hostel and testing all our fancy waterproof gear! The hostel we’re staying in is very comfortable, clean and central.

Got settled in and went to the Marienplatz for a stroll. The clock tower (Glockenspiel) was beautiful at night. Ended up eating at McDonalds’s fancy McCafe- decent shrimp burger!

It’s 2:00 am at night, we’re dead tired, should be in bed but are trying hard to keep our promise of blogging our trip and sharing our adventures with ya’ll.

Signing off for today, more tomorrow.
