Plans

To hitchhike to Köln and meet some friends at a xkcd-meetup.

Expedition

		I started at home at 9:15 and started to hitchhike at 10:05. After a half hour of waiting I got a lift to the service station Am Biggenkopf, where I waited for about an hour and got a lift to the service station Am Haarstrang. The petrol prices there were normal, other like 2013-07-23 50 7. But I had not to wait there, because I got the first car. The lift ended in Köln at the crossing Peter-Michels-Straße and Franziska-Anneke-Straße, which is near the motorway junction of Bickendorf. A little bit misleading by my GPS I first wandered north, where I made a little bit trainspotting.
		The hash is near.
		The Sandweg in Bickendorf.
		The name of this street is in English Beyond Peaches.
		I arrived near the hash at 14:30.

Because I wanted to get a xkcd-meetup, I walked around and waited for the four o'clock time. At first I found the Josef-Esser-Platz, on it a public bookcase, where I took a crime fiction book
The name of the other street is in English Beyond Cherries

		All these houses seem to belong to a housing cooperative Kölner Gartensiedlung.

		And a view to a geohasher, who did not grin, because no of his friends appeared.
