At 11 o’clock this morning, we had arrived in Munich with an empty stomach, courtesy of US Airways. Our skis did not show up and we had to wait for 2 hours at the Lufthansa baggage service counter, while the agents helped approximately 80 other passengers with lost luggage from different airlines. There was no food in this part of the airport! We finally filed our report with the forwarding address of our hotel in Colfosco,Italy, made it through customs and headed for the next restaurant in the airport.
Gabi had had the mental image of “Muenchener Weisswuerste” in her brain for the longest time. We were tired and hungry. After sitting down in the restaurant,the waitress informed us with a smile: “we are out of Weisswuerste today!”. Gabi just about lost her composure. How could they run out of this Bavarian food staple?
I had no choice, but to get up and follow Gabi, who was making her way back to Terminal 2. The “Erdinger Sportsbar” came to the rescue.

We had a great brunch with “Weisswurst”, “Leberkaes”, “Brezen” and German potato salad. I also needed a “Weissbier” to wake me up, before driving our rental car across the Alps to Italy. We finally left the Munich Airport at 3 PM, not until Gabi had purchased some books and magazines for her students back home. More luggage to carry!
