v.plonk!

Last wednesday I was in Stuttgart for a business meeting. Together with a collegue, we took the express train from Cologne to Stuttgart via Frankfurt/Main. We agreed on starting a bit too early (about an hour) so we wouldn't run into much trouble if we arrived a bit late. But the worst happened: Someone committed suicide on the express lane, so the track got changed and the delay rose up to 120 minutes!

But our planning gave us just enough extra time to arrive 2 minutes before the meeting started. We even were able to buy us two pastries with cheese (called "Käse-Laugenstange"), something that uses the same bread mix as the well knows pretzel. Almost perfect!

The meeting itself went pretty well and after around 2 hours we left for the train station again, passing by a newspaper stand where we bought 2 cans of beer to celebrate our small victory. We went on and had a seat in front of the railway station, eating our pastries and drinking our beer.

My collegue went on to Munich, so I drove back alone from Stuttgart to Cologne. A bit boring, but I used the time well learning some more norwegian!
