November/December 2023 - Germany + Poland (Part 1)

I'm back from a long trip to Europe, visiting Germany and Poland, mainly for the Christmas markets, but also for some WWII history, and another volleyball match! Our itinerary was to fly from Singapore to Munich where we spent 3 nights, then travel to Berlin via train where we spent another 3 nights. From Germany to Poland, we took a flight from Berlin to Krakow with a layover in Warsaw because there strangely weren't direct flights, spending 3 nights in Krakow before taking a train to Lodz for the vball match, then taking an Uber car ride to Warsaw where we spent 2 nights, and flew back to Singapore. Our open jaw flight from Sg to Munich and Warsaw to Sg on Qatar airlines cost around $1.5k sgd per person, and our flight from Berlin to Krakow on LOT airlines cost slightly more than $200 sgd per person.

Part 1 will be on Germany, where we visited Munich with a day trip to Neuschwanstein, a short stopover at Nuremberg, as well as Berlin.
