Expedition

2014-02-01 50 6 GeorgDerReisende 5585.jpg 2014-02-01 50 6 GeorgDerReisende 5588.jpg I started at home at 9:15 and started to hitchhike at 10:05. After a half hour of waiting I got a lift to the service station Am Biggenkopf, where I waited for about an hour and got a lift to the service station Am Haarstrang. The petrol prices there were normal, other like 2013-07-23 50 7. But I had not to wait there, because I got the first car. The lift ended in Köln at the crossing Peter-Michels-Straße and Franziska-Anneke-Straße, which is near the motorway junction of Bickendorf. A little bit misleading by my GPS I first wandered north, where I made a little bit trainspotting.

Because I wanted to get a xkcd-meetup, I walked around and waited for the four o'clock time. At first I found the Josef-Esser-Platz, on it a public bookcase, where I took a crime fiction book
