The First Day

An early start. A second after midnight.

Quick “happy new years” and then out into the street (with glasses full of Sekt) to greet the neighbours and watch the fireworks. It’s the only time it’s legal to set off fireworks and they only go on sale a couple of days ahead.

A cold (-4⁰) foggy night, and that seemed to work well for the fireworks.

In bed for 2am. Up again at 9am.

An easy drive to Munich Airport for a (very) late lunch and my 17:05 flight to Edinburgh. All on time and quite bearable.
