Kölle Ade

The night felt very short. The boys are chilling in bed before the alarm goes off. The spirit of optimism can be felt. The last things are being packed. The departure time and tram line are checked one last time. We walk to the tram together. Breakfast is bought at the train station. A student forgot the book he had previously purchased in the parking lot in front of the high-rise building. All options are discussed. There is not enough time to drive back to the holiday apartment. A taxi would be too expensive. The gatekeeper of the high-rise building is called. He promises to look for the book and get back to you.

Our IC2013 to Mannheim is delayed. There is a short-term track change. We get on the train. Now there is still some time to sleep and read. There is silence in the train compartment. We drive along the beautiful Rhine. The anticipation of returning home increases.
