In Transit: Hanover, Germany

Our flight was surprisingly on time, mainly thanks to the organized Discover/ Lufti ground staff in Philly. It was a nice flight, food not too bad, plane not too warm. Steve slept. I didn't.

There was a pretty orange moon at one point and I tried to take a picture. It didn't come out as there was too much light behind me on the plane. Tried again later when it was back to white, also not so good. The morning sky was cloudy and pastel, pretty, but the wing was in the way.

Good transfer at Frankfurt. We're getting to know the airport pretty well. Quick immigration. Luggage took a bit, but we got the Starry Night suitcase and found the train. Picked up sandwiches at a bakery and off we went to Hannover. We passed through Fulda again, this time west into east instead of the other way. Still no tanks.

Picked up the car and then onto the Autobahn (cue Kraftwerk). Only managed about 130 in the no speed zones, but most of it was posted due to construction, maybe. A lot of construction...

We reached Goslar. It's a pretty town, full of historical fachwerk (half timbered) houses. Our apartment is nice, and I wish we were staying longer.

Will post day 1 of Goslar tomorrow. I've slept maybe 30 minutes in the last thirty-six hours, and am about to go to bed.Read more
