Expedition

2015-08-05 51 9 GeorgDerReisende 0548.jpg 2015-08-05 51 9 GeorgDerReisende 0551.jpg I left home at 11:30, started to hitchhike at 12:30 and with two cars I arrived at Bad Arolsen at 15:00. Because I ended up at the very west of the city, I started with a sightseeing tour around Bad Arolsen. On this tour I found the 9th meridian. Here, in Bad Arolsen, it is! And I calibrated my GPS to it.

While I looked around, I saw a small bridge across the brook and I tried it. The bridge led to a gate in the fence, but I couldn't get nearer than seven meters.

For the homerun I started to hitchhike at 18:00 and with a car and a truck I arrived at Kassel at 19:30 and at home at 20:00.
