Leaving the Campingplatz was a bit of an adventure this morning. It started raining yesterday evening and rained on and off through the night. It gave us a nice little reprieve for tearing down and packing up this morning, which was nice, and we were able to check out and have a coffee before the 8:42 bus. The busses have been running a little unpredictably, so we walked across to the stop as soon as we were ready, which was about 8:25. It was drizzling when we walked over, but soon the downpour started and oh how it poured down. Our Larry Ponchos failed the Rain Poncho Test. They are better than nothing… by a small margin… but we will be replacing them with Euro Store ponchos at our earliest opportunity. The rain eased up slightly just before the full bus flew past us with the bus driver waving both arms to indicate either there was a wasp in his cabin, or he wasn’t stopping for us. He didn’t stop for us. How disappointing. Brent suggested calling a cab but since our German SIM (c/o Dietmar) is only for emergencies, we went back to the Campingplatz and asked the attendant to call one for us. The rain stopped and 15 minutes later we’re in a cab enroute to the banhof, back on schedule for our trains to Lüneburg. As the day went on, my cold started getting the better of me and then our train to Lüneburg was canceled. Our new route involved a milk run with two extra transfers. The way things have been going with tight connections I was doubtful as to when we would actually get to Lüneburg, but it worked out ok. Bonus train 1 worked great. Bonus train 2 was running almost 15 minutes late so re resigned ourselves to taking the one-hour-later bonus train 3 (thankfully there was such a thing). But when we got to Uelzen, to our delight, they had held bonus train 3 and we arrived in Lüneburg before 3pm. Yay! After a great meal in Lüneburg, we made our way to our Airbnb which is awesome. I felt my ambition melting away again, and although I was sure I just had a cold, I did another Covid test just to be sure. Well… dammit. I have the dread disease. We don’t know yet if Brent has it - he doesn’t seem to have symptoms… yet. That’ll change our trip plan for the next week or so. I’m glad, though, that we got our fourth poke before we left Canada.
