I take it back!!

I wrote in that last post that I used to pay out Deutsche Bahn (German railways) for being late, then changed my mind and decided they were awesome having had much, much worse experiences with the SNCF of France and Renfe of Spain.

But now,
my hatred is once again directed at the Germans.

I just had a nice time in Hamburg visiting my friend Nele (first time since September, possibly in a previous post from that time) and her friend and now room-mate Kristina and a few others.
I then went to Frelsdorf, my favourite small village in Germany, to see my family friends who I've visited twice already in my trip, this being my very last chance to see them before I go home.

Today,
the plan was to go to Dresden, and my family friends drove me this afternoon to Bremerhaven station where I had a 3-train plan to Dresden. The first of these trains took me to Bremen on time, then I got to the platform for my train to Hamburg and saw that this train was expecting a 35 minute delay.
With this 35 minute delay it was going to be impossible to get the third train from Hamburg to Dresden, and this just happened to be the last train of the day. I went to the service desk to ask what I could do and the woman's only suggestion was to go to Hamburg anyway and stay the night in a hotel which Deutsche Bahn might reimburse.

So I did take the train to Hamburg and instead of going to some hotel I went back to Nele and Kristina's apartment, although Nele isn't here tonight, but when I rang Kristina from Bremen she said I could definitely come and for this reason I am very glad there are such nice people in the world as her!

I did want to make it to Dresden tonight but now my plan is to take a different train early tomorrow morning.

Long explanation for such a simple problem but yeah, for this reason, I do not like Deutsche Bahn in this moment.

I only ask that one train, just one, is able to take me from Dresden to Frankfurt Airport this Thursday...

hopeful.
