You don't really think of army camps as having anything as non-portable as temples. Always interesting to find out one's perceptions are wrong.

(B)logbuch Juni 2023

Ich wage mal ein Experiment! 🤩 Am 12. Juni war der Tag des Tagebuchs, der mich daran erinnert hat, dass ich während des Jahresrückblogs gelernt habe, dass Follower mögen, wenn man kleine private Dinge preisgibt. Here we go! Viel Spaß! 1. Juni: Ich habe mir Erschrecken festgestellt, dass ich die letzten Monate zwar viel gelesen habe, aber irgendwie rezifaul war. Wie kann denn sowas passieren,…

Visited the Roman museum in Haltern today and was deeply struck by a display of 2000 year old remains of twenty-four Germanic people, plus a dog, that were discovered in a mass grave. Paused to honour these folk from whom time separates me, but whose stories I seek to continue.

A Rollercoaster Ride with Deutsche Bahn: Düsseldorf to Münster

Date: 06/06/2024

Train: RE 2

Changes: 1

To: Münster(Westf) Hbf, Nordrhein-Westfalen

From: Düsseldorf Hbf, Nordrhein-Westfalen

Planned departure: 10:06 am

Planned arrival: 11:35 am

Actual departure: 10:06 am

Actual arrival: 12:41 am

delay: 1 h 6 min

After a spontaneous decision to stay the night at a friend's place in Düsseldorf, I braced myself for what I hoped would be a smooth journey back to Münster the next morning. The previous day's trip to Düsseldorf had gone suspiciously well, lowering my hopes for an uneventful return. As my train departed on time, I couldn't resist texting my friend about how surprised I was by Deutsche Bahn's punctuality.

However, my optimism was short-lived. As we reached Haltern am See, the train conductor announced that our journey would terminate at Dülmen. A train had crashed into another one near Münster, necessitating our departure and a wait for SEV buses. Dülmen was soon swamped with passengers from three stranded trains.

We waited for about half an hour, but the promised buses never arrived. Amid the growing frustration, someone shouted that an RE 2 train was heading to Münster in a few minutes. Everyone ran to the platform. To our relief, the train indeed departed for Münster.

Despite the unexpected detour and extended travel time, I finally reached Münster. What should have been a 1.5-hour journey stretched into a 3-hour ordeal. Exhausted, I headed straight to university, reflecting on yet another unpredictable adventure with Deutsche Bahn.
