Sarah and my adventures to Munich

So today, I've been delegated the drive to Munich and back (about a 4-5 hour stint) to pick up my team mate Alex, one of the pilot's has retired and is flying home, so a new team mate is flying in, to take his place. So Sarah and I are off to drive on the Autobahn  alone, for the first time, ever! I just keep getting awesome driving experience here, first with the sled truck and now with the autobahn and extremely high speeds, in a country I have never really lived in...but I just found out, we get GPS! so that will be another adventure all on its own..

Because we crashed yesterday, Melissa and I flipped right after the Kriesel (a 360degree corner) I'm quite sore today, as we slid down through Siad, Kellstein, and Echo ( the corners are named here) upside down at about 120kmph...then backwards till we finally laid to rest half way through Echo. Needless to say, our sled is a little damaged, with the back end squished together, and the front half not lining up with the rest of the sled...yikes! I'm doing alright, very very stiff, and my headache hasn't left me yet :(

But I need to finish my laundry, which is currently residing in my bathtub! and then its off to Munich! or Munchen as its written here..
