Village of Altenau and arrival in Munich

Yesterday we trained to Munich - little villages, crops of corn in the north and hops nearer Munich and we were met on  the station by a friend of Noel's who he had not seen for 42 years and his wife. They were together for 1 year in England and got on really well then.  It was lovely to see these 2 old codgers recognize each other on the railway station.  We went by train with them  to a town near them and then they drove us to their home in a small , typically Bavarian,  village, 10 minutes from Oberamaggau. Much talking, eating  and this morning more talking and eating combined with a very interesting drive on the surrounding area.

They dropped us at a railway station near them this afternoon and we caught the train to Munich.  Our hotel is old, but has been renovated.  We have a room facing a courtyard, so hopefully the noise of the area a bit too close to the railway station will not be a problem.
