The Arrival

After almost 9 hours of stuck in a tiny seat with almost no movement, we arrived in Deutschland. After getting our bags and walking into the public area we met up with our orange vested driver. A very nice German man, who did not hesitate to play a bit of a tour guide as we passed various areas of the city. Large bridges, lots of trees, old architecture, modern art museum within a park and much, much more.

The hotel is ok, yet everything is ridiculously priced. For instance, 75 Eur for 7 days of internet package, 23Eur for breakfast buffet. If you ask Google, you can get the rate in Dollars, but take my word that it is ridiculous, but according to the staff, "this is Germany".

An element present in all US hotel rooms is strangely missing in this Holiday Inn, and that is a Bible. The presence of a Bible was explained to me not long ago, shattering my speculation that hotels provided it, but regardless its not here.
