we leave in the North Sea Canal, respectively, the lock ...
. And now the journey is over. We have to be at 08:00 from the cabin that Changfeng can start the big fight. So we pack up our "belongings" (no, not quite as many parts) and go straight upstairs for breakfast on deck ninth
I'm doing is still not good. The head still booming, and now I am also still poor and the belly "squeals" on. So'n Crap. But just today, where I found the whole smuggling with the suitcase, the bag and the backpack did before me. (Weight: see Day 1).
We first look for a place on Deck 9, where we can sit down and then goes Thomas to get his breakfast. Just the thought makes me "push open. And the smell of fried eggs, that gives me almost the rest I decide on one of the "sun" lying-in Lido Dorado (when closed) to lie with breathing exercises and distribute the nausea and stomach ache. Short term, the works too, but unfortunately not for long. I decide then but, chamomile tea all over, but to drink really very small sips, because the mouth is always dry and the head more and more "buzzing". I constantly change the direction of a toilet and have probably a bit too pale face. Thomas' view is getting anxious. Well, he had already had breakfast extensively, which would have been nothing if both get nothing.
at 09:20 but then I decide, the uncle of Doc A in the deck to visit. Ironically, the biggest crowd-debarkation. But what do I do? Me the way "break free"? Better not. The color yellow is 10:00 ordered the theater. The good Doc (and an even better sister) miss me a dual syringe and also a few capsules to swallow. When am I allowed to leave my mite to the invoice document in cash, we are then (it was now 10:10) slowly but surely into (with a bit better gut feeling, but totally thirsty and another Bißle shaky (although the blood pressure was really good)) Theatre, where a mountain was really going on. Since all the cleaners were used in the cabins and the toilets looked pretty soon "wild" from ... No matter what deck. No toilet paper, no more Kleenex (the flushing mechanisms "happy" about this TÜCHLER especially), so who does not own pace here, bad luck ...
The theater had yet to all the guests (Single-bus numbers assigned groups), with a tour and then bring out objective Schiphol Airport. In addition, we must not forget: the ship at 09:00 to put the first, ie the case at least 5000 at 10:00 am certainly not ready. No chance. The authorities want to know yes or secured their fair share and it must have everything in order. Well, let's have made us comfortable on the "long-sofas" in the theater on Deck 2 on a corner, I have the medication further can contribute and some rested (in the sight of an Austrian fellow passengers do not really "which should still in bed "Sleep - Thomas was about to blow ... well, was not even there anymore, otherwise it would have crashed), and finally we had to wait for everyone and no one came out earlier. And even if outside was just a container port. No public toilets, no drinks stations, no chairs for the departing guests, only a few tents were erected
The reason we changed the way the dock, etc. "Sail Amsterdam" (see also: http://www. niederlande.de / de / indian city / festivals / sail.jsp ), which takes place every five years. Accordingly was "hell" going on. See photo report later.
Finally we arrived at 11:00 at last out of the theater, could our Costa card a final time the scanner draw a few people took their thoughtful of the whole passing group on two different decks (we had to walk down to Deck 1) cases and then we went to "rattle stairway down to solid ground and continue to color the sorted. We found our bags including spat green IKEA-bag (which has proved itself again and again) actually quite fast. Once the (3-s) and number of high back down and that's it.
A couple Italy, was probably not so lucky. Even as we head case "depot" ran a loud cry of the woman and the man was heard shouting to a degree even after the staff at Costa, but what ... everything has turned around. The fact that the employees have not yet been defeated, everything. Really not much missing. It had two men to intervene by security, then it was all just went a bit quieter, then the roar back off. Was really listening to the whole area. So real. How's it went on, I do not know. We had better things to do and have grabbed our bags and are the shuttle bus that drove us the 12 km to Sloterdijk . What we had to get there: there were no min fifth walk to Central, but we had to buy a train ticket and do the time on a purely Dutch oriented machines ... In the end we did it, did well to pay with MasterCard and we are after asking a security guy who was there around, from where this is possible, with the next train on the 5min with a sprinter to Centraal Station down. It was actually really easy when one's would have been better explained previously. But oh well. As I said, it could be worse and we were glad that we have no time pressure in the background had, otherwise I had never gone that well, and we'd driven off the train home from the nose.
Once there, we take it really (really right at our exit door of the train) our table neighbors again. We had absolutely no chance to say goodbye to us properly because we really thought that we are having breakfast again, but because of my "ailment" was not so.
So really ... Amsterdam Centraal is actually great, but it had to be really still. We have got badly and were able to make up for the warm goodbye yet.
Mir's was slowly, almost quite well. I was hungry, not only hunger, but appetite and was very good. Now we had to first get rid of our luggage and my bag and rucksack. I thought / hoped it was a "tax" is possible, but no, it's quite ingenious, organized and technologically savvy (if man / woman 's has then looked me, is to work like that) lockers, which means part-central payment machine (depending so-and-so-many subjects, a machine) with MasterCard (or Visa, etc. had to be) paid directly. Cash was not there. The major subjects (for our case absolutely necessary) all were full, and even more people were in the Railway station on the road and sought space for their luggage ... The security man there was like, they have to wait, is free up to something. Oh great ... We had then eventually within about 15 minutes. (Had to be that in spite of a large 27kg almost balanced with the overhead in a tray), both in fact and the stow luggage compartments each for 24 hours (is not less) for hire. For the smaller luggage we had to the other side, and further behind because there was then still free Schilessfächer in smaller size (volume). Cost: 2x large for each EUR 7.45 and 1 small (er) for EUR 4.80. As I said, we would actually have 24 things in it can. Then the door opens again automatically. In between is not open, then it stays on and must be paid again.
We got a separate document for each subject with barcode printed from the payment machines. The later had to back into the appropriate payment machines of the area where the subject was (is on top of the document) to be pushed and the compartment door springs open. Class! So much for the simple but ingenious technique (if you have them figured times).
But now urgently at the feeding trough. We are fairly dripping with sweat again Smits Koffihuis to the Nikolai Church at Oosterdok. "Easy" fully ... But this time we here must rumwuchten no luggage (as at 01.08, when we arrived), you go a lot easier to get a seat.
I go only once in the direction of the toilet, where it not only EUR -. 50 costs, no matter whether only wash hands or not, but now there's also a receipt for the money paid. However, the only written in Dutch and after the event (with dinner) I read and I understand that this is really intended to be a food voucher! So real. If the woman can not tell us? We were able to know not. Not that one would be € for both of us the world now, but still. Oh well. For the next Time, we know. However, the document is only valid on the day of the exhibition, therefore, the later for another visit only "museum value".
Well, that Thomas had during my "loo-lesson" order ever for us. He has a "Cesar's Salad and a Coke
and for me a dark bread with fresh cheeses and a hot chocolate
- I married my coffee yet . Oh, it was delicious. And everything is still in it and the stomach was peaceful, or happy. Beautiful.
on the terrace overlooking the lake, we then found that not only are the streets so packed full of people, but also the water. It's unbelievable. Here's does have a Lüftl from the water, but once the sun comes through the clouds, just stick it all.
After we have recovered another Bißle and digested, we are then at the next possible canal cruise-web (with not so very long queues). We came to the company / shipping company "Lovers". Hmmm. Very well. We paid the EUR 12.50 / person for about 1 hour tour. We were never done before 8 years before, but we were looking forward to it already.
The trip went off at 15:00 and proceeded to the information is "normal", except for one or the other backwater because the water just really full of individuals with their "Bootch" or half the yachts was (of the size terms).
It was very impressive.
Finally, the driver must choose a different path, however, because he got told by his colleagues by radio that the "normal" way only minutes with 30. Congestion must be tackled. This means getting not, so he drove us through a different gate. Well ok.
opposite the exit-Pier (not where we were seated), we see a bicycle-car garage - clearly is not much of Amsterdam, but really wrong ... The I noticed on our last visit already.
we as were back on the road we are on the straightest-possible path (for a few years they are building outside the station in Amsterdam at the "Metro". I'm curious to find out they drill there ...
between the wooden stakes of artificial islands by land, or under the seabed?) For Nikolaikerke. It was our desire to go back there to go there and to finally light a candle can.
With a few extra sheets, we make it. It is in though plenty of dark, but just beautiful. The front of the altar exerts a group chants, which are then listed at 17:00. 16:00 drag the people already on their throws in white lace.
We have enjoyed a couple of song sequences. Was really nice, the acoustics.
We go out there and I go to the next possible way for the first time in France towards the hotel where I had put mom when she is with the MSC Opera in St. Petersburg.
She said that it was directly behind the church, easy to find. So we are there and found it well at first. However, as before: all full of people, but how ...
I try to continue to run towards stock market, for now, my head signals again, be "filled" the caffeine needs. But otherwise you go I actually really good. We are both very happy that the doctor was worth it.
pilots on the way I unconsciously directly by Thomas's red light district. Sitting behind some narrow windows, or are the ladies in the sexiest poses and as they see that I am the only that comes around the corner, they look resigned to find something through.
Thomas only had eyes for the beautiful Old Church, which we run directly. I have not photographed the women, but instead a monument to the ladies who work there, directly in front of the Old Church, whose bells are "glöckelt" for a really beautiful song 16:30 GE.
Well, I try to show you the straightest path to the market-creating, in the end too.
We even find a place at the table and we will soon ask someone what we would like. I also get pleasure on a piece of apple pie with vanilla ice cream. Hmmmm ... and of course a Latte Macchiato (better or dilute with milk, but caffeine has to be now). We thought at all: my life, but this is an expensive cake ... EUR 5 - + 1 - for the Kügele ice. When the cake was delivered, I asked: who should eat it please? The photo's explain what I mean ...
But it was sooo delicious! The Streussel and the apples are made with plenty of cinnamon. Total fine. However, I'm the center of cake not quite manage.
; It's time to slow our descent and Thomas should be something "clever" dinner
is the train's then nothing, so we go back to the station, and look around in there. On track "2b" we find the "1teKlas" restaurant.
Even as prices slightly "properly", but what gets served up Thomas , is expected to continue until the next afternoon, but really. So's has paid off.
the restaurant a try. The Salad is very fine (I have the side dishes salad as "fresh food" made because Thomas in the face of the portion that he has appointed, next to the salad capitulated and has devoted directly to the pasta) and Thomas was with the pasta more than satisfied. At last in the Bolognese sauce Bolognese real time, so meat in it.
round satisfaction we inform and pay us at the information booth for international passenger services in the West Hall station to see if our train leaves at 19:41 from platform 11b really.
We are fortunate indeed. No change in plans. We get our bags back from the lockers at the Ostbahnhof and trot in the Main Hall and from there towards the back exit track 11th Because everywhere is built, we have at this point only stairs, so we just carry our bags up the stairs to the track. We are looking for the car level gauges, and promptly does the train have gone so. But this is about time and early. Good for us. We run a few more times back and forth until we have found the right entrance, and note - our recliners are completely at the other end of the car. Since we are almost the first in the car, we had the chance and leave our luggage behind, or below the first 4 recliners. The bag we take to our seats and they were in the "hat rack". Go good. The backpack is deposited under the legs so we can do it ourselves comfortable. I get the window seat this time, although there is no window. But ok. So I can at least be resting. The train was really from very punctual. Class! I read yet finished the second book of Jørn Riel and start the third. Around 23.00 I get the fleece jacket from the bag, grab me and make it to the eyes. Of deep sleep is not to think really, but it is much better than on the outward journey. Again and again I need to drink water. Well, we bought from the ship or a bottle per person. When the air conditioning I drink like a camel ... The air is just too dry. But just as I said, it is much better. Something neat to 4:20 jerked, somehow, the car shunted. Must be well in the Mannheim train station. The car also got something going on. Some people talk very loud. Outrageous, but oh well. They go out too. You have the local dialect. At 05:30 I must again go to the bathroom and realize that we are already well advanced. I try to sleep again then, but somehow does not want everything's right, because after 06:00 must be awake soon, or we miss our exit. Stops are not announced fact. So, who is not awake in time unlucky. At the height of Erzingen we collect our bags and suitcases and place us at the exit de
We look directly onto the tracks out back. Soon comes the Baden Station (German railway station in Basel, Switzerland) and minutes of the next stop, about 3-4. later is our aim. We arrived on time.
A quick glance at the printed schedule shows us that we could be one hour earlier at home when you get it, get the train on track 9th So the gangway with the escalators from platform 5, where high and back down to platform 9. There already is the inter-regional express train to Zurich. Booyah! We get
in peace, and arrive on time at 7:32 in stone Säckingen. The
collected from the train called German taxi from us and brings us over the border home. At 08:00 am early Sunday, 08/22/2010 we are together with our luggage in our living room and are delighted with the welcome of our twittering birdies.
The aquariums are pure and the chinchillas are also pleased to see us again and can even stroke them. Is not always so - often it happened already, that we just turn to the backside and shows now you must not come to ...
A big thank you to this Point to our dear friends and of course my mother, who came up with this three-week intensive-care service in our zoo shared.
Now is the first unpacking suitcases, leave laundry in the basement, the first machines to run laundry, and feed the Tierle. Then there's breakfast for us and finally 'ne lukewarm shower, or to Thomas a long bath. Yes, that's good, relaxed, and will return after some time the animal spirits. We soon made the house is "tight" because out there it gets quite warm again. Summer has probably come for 2-3 days back.
Colleague said when I returned to the office due to my enthusiasm about our trip very well:
"Memory is the only paradise from which we can not be expelled."
(Original: Jean Paul )
To this I have nothing further to add!
