Family Trip To Hannover



We woke up early the next morning, grabbed breakfast once again at the hotel, and then took the S-Bahn to the nearby Munich main train station. Once there, we found our train to Hannover no problem, and dragged our luggage on for the long, 4 ½ hour journey, to Hannover. By the time we made it to Hannover, it was already starting to get pretty late. We checked in our belongings at the Best Western Hotel, and bought a drink in the pub while we decided what to do with our remaining time. When we were finished with the drinks, we headed out to the Bahn stop out front, and rode into the city. We walked around for a while, and Rachel got to check out a handful of stores along the way. Once it was dark, we headed to another Block House for our final family dinner together in Germany. The supper was great, and we headed out for a bit more shopping once we were finished. We also stopped at a bakery, as well as an ice cream shop on the way back to the hotel. Once back at the hotel, we organized all of our luggage for my family’s plane ride home in the morning. I ended giving them my large suitcase to take back for all of the gifts and souvenirs.

In the morning, we made it to breakfast at 6:15, ate very quickly, then jumped on the Bahn for the main train station. From there, we caught another train the rest of the way to the Hannover airport. We were a little early, so we waited around for about half an hour until the gate opened. Then, we said our goodbyes, and they were on their way. Luckily, everything went well. My family made it home no problem, and I had no trouble getting back to Braunschweig. It turned out to be a great family trip!
