Tag 8 – From the dance floor directly to Voltaren

Today was clearly under the motto: “You’re just not 20 anymore.”

After being the unofficial dance stars of the White Party last night, my body reliably reminded me this morning of my age. While my legs were dancing rhythmically to the music yesterday, today it feels more like Voltaren and cautious movements.

It was immediately clear to my partner: Today, we will do nothing or almost nothing. So the day began quite relaxed by the pool after a late breakfast. Two sun loungers were strategically secured, and then we first analyzed last night’s festivities. Probably similar to analyzing a crucial football match – just with more cocktails and less strategy.

However, I felt drawn to the shopping district once again. I still had “something to take care of”… wink, wink. Apparently, the vacation shopping mode wasn’t fully completed yet.

After about 8000 steps – which again probably happened completely unplanned – I finally returned to the hotel. Vacation can really be physically demanding here.

Then it was time for lunch. One must gather strength, after all.

In the afternoon, the big finale of the 2nd Bundesliga was on the agenda. Football on vacation here is truly a science in itself. Fans of various clubs everywhere, all simultaneously experts and completely emotionally charged.

1.FC Magdeburg unfortunately did not play particularly well and lost the game. But: Didn’t get relegated! And that was ultimately the main thing. The pulse could slowly start to calm down.

To relax, there was – as every day – a very delicious dinner afterwards. And then, of course, off to the bar. You know the drill by now: sitting comfortably, enjoying drinks, and listening to the musical evening program.

However, today also brought a small realization: Only two days left, and then it’s back home on Wednesday.

So, the final sprint of the vacation officially begins. And experience shows that the best stories happen just then.
