Day 39
We left Mons this morning, or actually Jurbise on the 6:43am train with the goal of getting into Kaiserslautern about 12:30pm. We missed our first connection in Brussels-midi... How can one be expected to buy a ticket and catch a train in 7 minutes when you don't know your way around the station? Things went smoothly in Koln but we missed another connection in Mannheim to get into K-town. Despite the adventure, we got into Kaiserslautern and collected our rental car and were at Susan and Dave's by 5pm. Happy hour anyone? Well, where's the water? I had planned to do laundry. And of course, there's always that middle of the night trip down the hall. Justin putzed around in the kellar to find the connections, but was not successful. With no water, we called Matt to tell him we couldn't meet for dinner (but we certainly will when we return in September. Matt doesn't even have orders yet so he and his family will still be in town when we get back.) and we got back on the road. What I thought would be an interim day, in actuality, turned out to be day number one of the next loop. We got past Nuremberg before we reached our hotel... Gasthjof Hotel Zum Schwarzen Baren. We were dog tired; the owners were quite happy to see us at midnight so they too could go to bed.
