The Tour
Since the hash promised to lead us through some interesting road and alongside the castle of Sancoussi (see also here) we planned to do a trip today. This time we took the sturdy e-Mini Car from car sharing as the tour was not very far and Phoenix was eager to find out how good (or not) this car behaves. Relet organized the car and collected Phoenix from work for the ride. Although it was already dark and very cold the idea of going to the hash on a very expensive Tram with rubber wheels excited them. Apart from the sound (almost nil) and the good acceleration the e-Mini drives nearly as a normal car (at least from the co-pilot's point of view). So to no surprise we managed to drive to Potsdam in good time through the dark woods of Brandenburg. Due to the time of day only a glimpse of the Sancoussi park could be seen. The hash itself was on a way inside an area of allotment gardens, naturally bereft of people at night. Freezingly we took a flight of photos (phoenix complaining about fingers getting even colder with a metal camera body in his hand) and headed back to the car. The only negative incident was the outage of the car's heating, which felt even more defect on the way back (well, it was off all the time, but in the gardens all the buffered heat just left my clothes). Nevertheless we rode back happily, using some smaller, winding road to get back to Berlin to get a hot tea and check the pictures. PS: Yes, those electric cars really are goog to sneak up on unsuspecting pedestrians...
