As I sit here writing this there is a devil woman shouting at everyone & everything within screeching distance.Am keeping a close eye to check she doesn’t head my way…maybe the sun has got to her but I fear her problems are much more fundamental…
Talking of weather it’s hot hot hot yet again but as most of Europe is in the grip of it there’s no point whinging as we’re all in the same boat.I feel sorry for the people of Paris where it close to 40c and heaven knows what the Metro is like,ditto the Tube in London.Been there,done it etc and never want to do it again in this heat…those poor buggers having to go to work in this!
Last full day in Bremen today before heading off to Lübeck on the Baltic coast tomorrow in what should be a straightforward shortish journey with one change at Hamburg.But we all know the vagaries of trains in this part of the world by now…
The devil woman is still screeching like a banshee but luckily others are getting it and not me…yet.
Not been to Lübeck before,looks a fascinating place.The granddaddy of the Hanseatic League ( probably the greatest…blah blah blah) once held all the power in this region and I believe the architecture might convey that power.We will see…
Looking over to the woman it appears she has a couple of carers with her,no doubt to prevent anything escalating as she screams at all and sundry.My guess an extreme case of Tourette’s and now I feel guilty…
Bit the bullet and bought a day transport ticket from a street machine.I‘m walked out,especially as I will probably be in the bar most of the day.My only worry with these things is do I need to validate the ticket? In some city‘s you do but not others.Can’t see a validation machine anywhere either on the street or on the tram and as the ticket is time stamped I think I’m ok.It’s a bloody minefield…
Whilst waiting for the tram there was a demo by local taxis.They were driving around the city in convoy.No idea what it was about,probably something important or it could be they’re sick of driving Mercedes Benz and wanted to knock around in Austin Allegros…
Had totally forgotten about the cricket being on.Doubt if I can get to watch any here.There’s an Irish bar over the road but it’s not open yet and there’s no guarantee they’ll show anything for one bloke anyway.Die Fliege is a “ sports” bar but wouldn’t even entertain a fella wanting to watch Dortmund last night so I think my chances are slim to none getting them to put this weird sport on…I once managed to get England v Windies on in a Prague bar but only because the landlord was Pakistani and wanted to watch it as much as I did.Stayed there over six hours…
As I had finished today’s blog earlier I’m gonna knock this one out today too.Call it a Brucie Bonus if you want or cruel & unusual punishment.I’ll let you decide which…
