Early on Thursday morning, at Koln Haupbahnhof, my phone rings. My sister Kirstie, due in Munchen today, has had herflights cancelled, due to some volcano in Iceland. I am assured it is not a problem, as she has been able to re-book for tomorrow morning...
By the time I arrived in Munchen, it was clear that the problem might affect a few more people, particularly those due to leave Edinburgh on Thursday evening. Still, Saturday is a long way off - surely the problem will have resolved by then...
However, those in Munchen (the Koln 5 and Steve (due to fly home on Friday) can do nothing to assist - we might as ell have a drink and await developments. Once we met up in the Augustiner Braustuben, the home of Edelstoff, word came through that the evening flight had been cancelled. Unfortunately, they are not able to re-book, so the numbers for Saturday's party will be slightly down. At the same time, it becomes clear that Friday might be affected as well, but hopes are still high.
Back to the bier...
We managed to find our way to the Paulaner braueri, where Hector notices maibock- sadly not the best of it's style. Not long (in relative terms) was spent there - Andechs was calling!
We answered!

Hope Kirstie makes it, but.. Scottish airports are still closed until at least 7am Sunday morning. We have been to change our euros back to sterling and have to comfort ourselves with bottled Edelstoff in the Quarter Gill.
