Bahnfahrt
Somewhere in southern Germany, a Deutsche Bahn train has fallen off some Deutsche Bahn rails. I kinda thought they weren't supposed to do that.
Just one of however many thousand stranded passengers, I am trying to find my way home. I don't know where I'll make it to tonight. The Bahn tells us stuff-all, except to put us on a train that will hopefully connect to a bus that will take us to another train which might get us far enough north to... nobody knows. The Bahn no longer even mentions that this train just sat at the platform for twenty minutes without moving. The woman on the Deutsche Bahn helpline was as sweet as could be and tried really hard to find me a way home, but even she couldn't penetrate the obdurate denial of the Deutsche Bahn computer.
So I have at best a scant hope of making it home to Mischa tonight. A grotty hotel somewhere, most likely. Maybe Frankfurt if I'm lucky, and you know things aren't going well when you consider yourself lucky to be in Frankfurt.
It's been a very long week and the prospect of rest remains distant indeed.
