Finally we found a common date for our first excursion
but we didn’t realize it would be one of the hottest weekends recorded in
Germany. Temperature was going as high as 38+° and so with our excitement. We
agreed not to fight, not to have especial wishes and most of all to be tolerant
to each other. One for all, all for one.
The train ride from Bonn to Hamburg took about four and
half hours which we didn’t feel at all as we were busy finishing a bottle of
sparkling wine, homemade cake, bought croissants and salted bagels,
strawberries, plums, pieces of honey melons and samosas. One train employee selling coffee even
willingly took some of our offered honey melons. We were not bothered anymore
as they could see our compartment was turning into an instant dining room. Some
women travelers passing by our compartment were giving us the thumb-ups. For
the bottle of sparkling wine early morning? Enjoy the photos!
