Unexpected stopover in Munich
A girl in a group of German 17-year-olds felt unwell in the plane leaving London to Munich – she felt she couldn’t breathe, and as a result we had to leave the runway and head back to the terminal for the NHS to have a look at her. We only had 1.5hrs between that flight and the one to Hong Kong, so Ross was jumping up and down in her seat until we finally took off. We missed the connection in the end – but this being Lufthansa, they had already booked us into a hotel by the time we landed and organised for us to leave on the next day’s flight.
So, we had a good night’s sleep, a German-style breakfast the next day (loads of food), and a day to spend in Munich – the land of sausages, beer and lederhosen. We didn’t actually see any of those (apart from the beer 
), but we did get to spend a pleasant day walking around the city, spoilt by the weather, having snack in the English Park and seeing the Frauenskirche.
