Euro Day 7 – Germany

OMG.  The Mexicans have poisoned me! Up and down all night answering the very urgent call of nature. Then the nausea kicked in. Oh dear. Not the best night’s sleep. Probably about 2 hours of restless sleep. I got up in the morning, still feeling terrible. I did a bit more packing before having a huge spew and finishing up. Feeling a tiny bit better, and it being 10:45 with checkout being 11am I headed out of the hotel to find my way back to the car. That included two tram rides of which I spent chanting, ‘do not spew on the tram, do not spew on the tram.’ I didn’t, phew! But it was touch and go for a bit there on the nice warm tram, swaying gently.

Got into the car and headed for Daun. No stuffing around today. I would have liked to have taken the scenic route, but not trusting my innards to remain there I decided on the most direct route. Only two rather urgent stops required for relief, a couple more as I was so tired from the lack of sleep I could feel my concentration going, which is a scary thing on an autobahn. I passed the Nurburgring track on my way. I had intended on doing a lap or two as it was an open evening. But with how I was feeling I decided not to and headed the last 20km to my hotel. I arrived in Daun at about 4pm. It seemed very nice. The nice man offered me the larger single room for only 4 more euros, I declined. I laughed when I opened the door to my ‘smaller’ room as it was still 3 times the size of the single room in Amsterdam for nearly 1/3 of the cost. I unpacked the necessary stuff, put things on charge, had a shower and was in bed by 6pm, and asleep by moments later.
