Expedition

2014-10-02 52 9 GeorgDerReisende 7258.jpg 2014-10-02 52 9 GeorgDerReisende 7479.jpg I left home at 9 a.m., started to hitchhike at 10 a.m., got a lift to Göttingen and another one to the petrol station in Hannover-Anderten. There I arrived at 11:45. I made two walks in Kleefeld and in the Südstadt, then I traveled to Herrenhausen. I bought a ticket for the garden.

I knew, that the watergames would start at 3 p.m., so I walked around in the garden and had some investigative looks to all the parts.

2014-10-02 52 9 GeorgDerReisende 7365.jpg Then, at 3 p.m., the fountain started. Today was no wind, so I got the ideal form.
Then I walked again through the garden.

Retro Expedition

On 2019-08-14, Jan and Fippe visited the Gardens and did a quick retrohash to see if we could reach the spot which Georg reached five years ago. We could.
