Flat plains drifter…Germany #11

The good news after today’s hotel shenanigans is I and my bags are still in the  room and as an added apology they left me a little bag of sweets on the door handle…now I’m going to see if Dart’s Corner is open…

So anyway the Dart’s Corner was open and true to it’s word it’s on a corner and caters for darts players.For quite a while it was just me and the barman in there having a chat.He had the look of a younger slightly less cadaverous Paul Weller and he didn’t have a  scooby how to pour a draught beer.I felt like saying “ come on Paul you know this,tilt the fucking glass” but alas he just stood there glass up and let it pour in…later on some dart types came in but alas their darting was as piss poor as Paul’s beer management…but it was open so there’s that.

Last day in Lübeck and we have rain and it’s also Sunday,a German Sunday is always a treat…one thing I like about this area is there are plenty of sites within the city that are covered in wildflowers to encourage the bees.It would be easy to manicure all the greenery like a golf course but gladly they haven’t.Save the planet an‘ all that,or at least what we can before the whiny little bitch Trump destroys it all because of his daddy issues…

Have to go for a shower after writing that name down.I feel sullied…

Oddly Lübeck is one place I have not been asked for a cigarette or money whilst sitting outside a cafe bar and I have been outside a lot! It’s a pretty normal thing.I have seen plenty of shouty drunk chaps walking around but none have stopped me.I fully expect that to change once in Berlin,it’s almost a right of passage.I can’t recall ever being harrassed by it.If I give then fine and if not the response is normally a shrug and move on.Time,after all,is money,or a smoke…

Took a stroll to the Hauptbahnhof earlier and my heart sank a bit as there was a sign about disruption between Hamburg( where I change) and Berlin but luckily it’s not starting until Aug 1st…they’re going to take years sorting out the infrastructure of the railways to get it up to a decent standard again I’m afraid…hopefully on a personal note this trip won’t be too badly affected…

Anyway Berlin tomorrow for five days.Seems ages since I was last there yet it’s only been about two months! Long time readers will already know it’s my favourite city on earth so needless to say I’m looking forward to it…I also know barstaff who can pour a draught beer…

Tschüss…
