Woods!

 With the Wacken adventure over, it still sometimes seems wrong to not wake up in a tent to people yelling “WAACKKEEEENN” at eight in the morning and then to wander around festival grounds, spending an hour standing in order to get a good place to watch a band I enjoy. But damn, did a in a private bathroom feel good. After being at the mystical Hamburg apartment for about two or so hours, we headed to the Bahnhof (trainstation) and went back to Quentel, to Kevin’s cousin’s.
The train ride was alright… we’ve spent a lot of time on the train, but luckily we had some movies on the computer to watch. I really have a love-hate relationship with the Eurail train system. If one train is late, almost all the other trains have to wait because some people need to connect.
We arrived pretty late, so we just went to bed… TO BED! A BED WITH A PILLOW AND BLANKETS AND MATRESS. I had no pillow at Wacken.. so my body was really hating me. We got up and realized we had the internet, so we spent a lot of time getting computer stuff done – emails, skype, facebook, blog, photos, etc. After that we went for a walk through some epic friggen woods. The house we were staying in is surrounded by a forest. The woods walk included edible berries! Mmmm fresh berries. Afterwards, Döner Kebab time. My first time eating this German-Turkish delicacy. Very much like the American-Greek gyro.
Next day, we went to some other, even more epic woods because these woods were once a town. A town where holocaust laborers worked. So there were still ruins of abandoned buildings. It for sure beat going to a museum because you knew it was genuine and not fixed up for the public. The buildings were huge, and there were so many of them. You could see where the toilets could have been and where electric cables were at one point.

I don’t understand how Europeans can eat all the ice creams and cakes they want, yet still have a lower obesity rate than Americans. Probably cause Americans are lazy. And European food in general has less sugar, even if it is the same brand as the US has.
