The Munich airport is very basic and functional....no money wasted on fancy artwork or waterfalls here. Plain white walls in the hallways, but good signage. Those Germans are a clever lot - the urinals had an image of a large fly in the centre rear area, presumably to provide a target and avoid collateral damage. I didn't take a photo in case it was verboten (sorry for the toilet humour, but you must admire their attention to detail).
The flight from Munich to Barcelona flew over the alps, Marseille, down the Mediterranean coast of Spain, and over the port of Barcelona, so provided some great views. Our bags were in the carousel, so all was good on arrival!
After the taxi ride to our apartment I was glad that I was not driving - they drive fast on narrow lanes, change lanes on a whim and dodge motorcycles and mopeds. The best 33 euros spent so far on the trip.
Our apartment is fairly central, has two bathrooms, and can sleep nine people, so we are not tripping over one another.
After getting settled we decided to head out and get some dinner before having an early night. We wandered aimlessly around our neighbourhood and found several supermercats (roughly translated as small grocery store) and so we stocked up on breakfast food. Eventually we settled on a hole in the wall pizza / Indian food place for dinner and had a totally unappetizing meal (note to self - probably why it was rated number 4987 out of 6027 Barcelona restaurants onTripAdvisor, which we only checked after our meal). We will have to do better tomorrow, but first some sleep.
