photographs on the floor

I sort of guess my way out of the airport, end up on a motorway seemingly facing Munich. For a good few miles I really don't believe I'm on the right road, the sun has set so I cant use it for reference, I'm not even even sure this road is heading south towards the city. The turning to Lindau/ Stuttgart winds to my right and I know as I continue down this road I'm going the right way.

A change of motorway which is smooth (these German roads are the best I've seen/exp in Europe) and to my right as it rises over the hill is the Allianz Arena, its red so I'm assuming the opposing team to arrive wear red (Milan would have been the easiest answer save the fact that they aren't playing a big team this week). A wrong turn after some road works confuse me and I end up in some random places, an industrial estate, past the LIDL headquarters, the roads a good but random. I even ask for directions which don't help because I don't listen to them and end up in stranger places. I spend another 20 mins trying to get back to the right road and stumble on the right direction. I have myself a mini tour of the city and its beautiful lit up by the night lights. I find the hotel but I'm on the wrong side of the road, I park in the garage about 5 times to get it just right.

I even play it safe and order the same thing for dinner as I had the last time I was here, the cute Asian waitress understands my bad German after the first beer (the courage beer I call it)

but in the end none of this matters, all that matters is that I'm here like Dizzee Rascal and it's finally sunk in.

Already missing you my beautiful eggs.

  • getting lost in the dark
  • finding ones way again without really trying
  • hartle fry ups before going
  • realising i'm only human and letting it all out for an hour
  • getting smashed and experiencing the above
  • German roads- they are pretty straight forward (unlike in Holland- best roads my fucking arse)
  • Phil to see me off at T5
  • disappointing taxi driver, the least interesting one yet
  • seeing the English countryside one last time before I see Bavarian countryside
