You made the right decision to travel by plane. 18hrs in a bus, that's pretty terrible. But true, can be mucho less expensive. Munich, I really like that airport for transit. Whenever I passed by that one, I could stay in the same hall, most of the time just a few doors further down or up the hall for connecting flights, that is when both are within the Schengen zone.
Anyways, was really nice to meet you. When you and your husband like to go for a cup of coffee or something, we aren't living that far apart 🙃
NJOY the weekend.
