A short trip to Germany

Last month, i went to Germany on a short work assignment. I flew from Bangalore to Frankfurt and return journey from Frankfurt to Delhi. I stayed in Delhi for over a week to fly back to Bangalore.

While I was in Germany, it was snowing and raining making it too cold out there. Bus number 41 ceased to exist and so one morning I had to walk in snow to office. Thankfully, it was not snowing too much and so the walk from Guesthouse Scheurmann to office was all the more enjoyable.

In fact, number and timings of all the buses from Heidelberg to Walldorf have also changed. I had to take a train from Heidelberg Hauptbanhof (main railway station) to Wiesloch Walldorf. Incidentally, there was a bus service from Wiesloch Walldorf to Hauptstrasse (main street) even at night.

One night before I had to leave, four of us (myself, Sesh, Rampi and Suresh) enjoyed dinner and drinks in a Spanish restaurant named ‘La Tortuga’. We ordered Sekt (Sparkling wine) and Tequila. For food, we ordered something called Tapas. It was very delecious and it consisted of Garlic bread with a mixture of different kinds of dry vegetables and salad like olive, cheese etc.

When the plane landed in Delhi after midnight, it was around twenty seven degrees outside. That one week at home, as always, was relaxing and laid-back. I didn’t feel like coming to Bangalore…Work, though, brought me back here :)
