Home again

After what seemed like a long trip to Austria, I am back home and all is well with the world. MK was rather stressed that she would drop "little brother" before I came home, but I arrived before him so all is well.



The airport in Munich was thankfully pleasant as we had to spend a couple of hours there drinking beer before flying home.

In Munich I found a small model Lightening McQueen for J who seemed to be very pleased this morning, especially as he lost his other "red racing car" yesterday at his great grandparents house. He refuses to accept that this car is called Lightening McQueen, to him it is the "rød racerbil" and Mater the pickup truck is "li'nin'Queen".



Austria was pretty warm and very humid which meant that there were thunderstorms every day. I was pleasantly surprised by our trip, the beer was good (that is to be expected in Bavaria) and very cheap - 6 beers for €11 one evening and the town was charming. Our hotel was build as a church in 1490 and apart from the lack of air conditioning was very nice. The town sits on the river Inn and was at some point re-built in a Baroque style after a big fire.

It was a good trip, but it is good to be home and I think I have had enough beer for a month or so and I could do with some exercise and some healthy food!

    Good for J. He clearly must have discerned that he did not want some stripped out lightweight copy of his hero.(despit the fact that losing weight does help make cars go faster. Try telling him it is Lightning McQueen! G
