Recap of Week 1- from Dublin to Biberach and Surroundings
By Gabi. Filed in Germany |
Well we made it, we are in Biberach, where Sonja will be teaching for the year–it’s this great little Schwabian town, with the friendliest people and cute scenery, right out of a picture book.
But how did we get here?
Well here comes the weekly summary:
I left off in the great lounge in NY: Thereafter we had a short 5 hr flight to Dublin, where we were met by our personal escort to the VIP lounge, which came right out of the 50’s–as a matter of fact the whole airport looked like it was a blast fom the past —back to the “Old Europe”.
Then it was time to board the flight to Frankfurt. No orderly conduct here…. flight gets called and all push for the door…forget: ” and rows 21-16 may board now”, or even, “section B may board now”. No, instead we walked across the airport tarmac between planes, gas trucks, baggage cars and maitenance vehicles, reaching our Air Lingus Jet.
Here we received a typical Irish breakfast with black(blood) pudding, sausages, bacon and a roll. My cholesterol shot up 100 pts 
Next we rented a nice Budget Nissan SUV to get us to Stuttgart, where we changed cars to a Sixti Ford Focus stationwagen-the price was right, 12 Euros a day….. on on on we must go, jetlag and all. Almost forgot Sonja, we picked her up again in Frankfurt at the airport, what service she got!:razz:
The drive to Ulm Gögglingen was uneventful. We then rented a room, had a Stück Kuchen, tried our satellite phone to our little tike in Grenada (thank God, it works)—I’m connected:mrgreen:…………….. small dinner and bed!
