Around the World

Left room at abt 11. took a bus(for the first time I dint go in a taxi) to the station. Waited for train(just missed one when I was entering the station so had to wait for the next one which was after 30 mins). Got into it. No train would go to my destination(tho I had a ticket to the final place). So I got down at Heidelberg. Went to the info counter. She gave me a big itenary of how to reach the place. But I was so determined to go that I dint mind. My next train was after 50 mins. Went to a shop in the station and got some stuff. Had a coffee.

Then got into the train. Took 20 mins to reach the next place called..hmmm…something..i forgot…long name. there I got into a bus. That bus went on for 50 mins. Got down at sinsheim. This station was so deserted.i found out how to get to my platform. I waited there for the train. No one around. It was already 2 PM. The train dint turn up. Waited for 30 mins. Then I thought it is no point waiting. I found a woman on the other platform. I shouted out to her to ask her if she knows English. And fortunately she did know. She told me that for a week there would not be any trains on this route as there was some construction going on. I was so irritated. I went to her platform and she told me that the best is to walk to the museum. I asked her for directions , shouted out a thanks and headed off on my journey. And it was quite a journey. I walked for 40 mins on such a deserted highway. It was really scary. But my intention to reach the museum was so high that I just moved on. On the way I noticed a MC donalds, burger king, subway etc. finally…I saw the museum…ran to the entrance. It was almost 3PM. I took a ticket. I wanted watch the movie in the IMAX. I was told that it is at 4. so I ran into the museum
It was a spectacle with vintage cars, race cars, bikes, and lots of such stuff. managed to click some self snaps. I enjoyed it. They had models of huge aeroplanes and all. It was great. All that travel was worth it. There were 2 parts of the museum. I ran around both (including the shopping part) and was at the theatre at 4. it was a 3D movie on space shuttles. A documentary. But it was really good. The 3D effect gave real life to t and I felt I was in space.
4:45 it got over. I rushed out. Went to the restroom and decided to leave. Walked back on the deserted road. It was getting dark very fast. I was hungry. Prashanth had told me that the veg sandwich at subway is good try it. I was never ale to do it before. Today I was on my own. So I stopped at subway. Took a sandwich. Walked to the station. Ths time my walk was only 25 mins.i was there much before the time for the bus. I sat there and ate my sandwich. The place was really deserted.then came the bus after a long wait of 30 mins. I got in. called Prashanth from the bus to tell him to go to bed as it would be too late before I reach back.
I reached the train station by abt 7PM. From here I had to take a train to Heidelberg. From there to walldorf. At each station the waiting time was 15 mins. I reached walldorf by abt 8. no taxi anywhere. I waited. But still nothing. It was too late and so no buses at this time. I dint know what to do. I started walking. This road was the most deserted of all. There was not a single soul. And it was dark. I was not even sure if I was walking in the right direction. I saw the sign boards and kept following it. It was really scary. Walked a little ran a little. Reached the hotel by 8:30PM. Whew!!what an adventure. Just gave a missed call to Prashanth to say I was back.
I did not think he would be awake. He was. And he called. I was more than happy to talk to him. After that I just drank a glass of milk and collapsed on the bed.
That was my last weekend in germany. I would be back in Bangalore in 2 more days. This gave me really sweet dreams and I slept just too well that night
