Expedition

2015-08-29 50 8 GeorgDerReisende 1451.jpg 2015-08-29 50 8 GeorgDerReisende 1454.jpg I left home at 8:15, and started to hitchhike at 9:00 at my usual place. But it was some fog and most of the people looked unfriendly. After an hour I decided to try the sliproad at the Auestadion. There I waited less than 15 minutes. With three cars I arrived at Frankfurt-Riedstadt at 14:23. With the bus 29, the trams U2 and 15 I arrived at 15:40 at the Haardtwaldplatz. Then I walked along Haardtwaldstraße and Niederräder Ufer to the hash.

2015-08-29 50 8 GeorgDerReisende 1457.jpg The hash lay in the middle of the street, about fourty centimeters away from the dashed line.

And I looked around:
