How do you travel these times? The adventure starts already before you fly or even pack. I had to find a health center that would give me a PCR test in English. While the Bavarian government pays Covid-19 tests they obviously don’t pay for an English version. Initially, I had to find one that was open on the weekend as I wanted to fly Monday (that changed). The one at the München airport costs 130 EUR, whereas the on in Nürnberg only 70 EUR (obviously my choice). Then you wait for the results and hope that it is negative, which always makes me smile because that is positive 😉
