Saturday we slept in. I read and worked a bit -- and then Coby came to pick me up to head to Frankfurt. He got kicked out of his room before he could finish our production updates -- so we had to get him an internet connection.
- Hotel no connection (I could, he could not)
- Standing outside the office trying to get wireless -- no joy
- Hotel next door (I could, he could not)
- Paying a big fee two hours later... finally
Anyway, our plans to leave at 11 were delayed a tad to 5 p.m... We had about 5 1/2 hours to go so after dinner at -- you guessed it -- McDonald's... Tom Tom led us north.
The trip was a little slow (we are sure we got two speeding tickets) until we got to Germany and the speed limit was eliminated. I learned a few things
1) The top speed of our brand new Hyundai is 190km (roughly 120mph)
2) The autobahn will suddenly insert speed limits near interchanges of 80km (roughly 50mph)
3) Needing to adjust from 190km to 80km in a short span is very good at keeping the car passengers awake.
Coby drove. I held on tightly to the appropriately titled handle.
We got to the hotel around 10:30 and went for dinner (at a kabab stand, no less) around midnight.
Sunday -- met at 1:30 for lunch at Subway, walked around a bit and then back to work... It is an exciting life we lead.
