We nearly didn't make the ferry.As chief naviguesser, I was in charge of the map to get us out of Berlin. The route I picked snaked through city streets rather than along the expressway so it took longer than anticipated. We did however get more impressive views of Berlin wall remnants.
It rained. You can't fly along the highway at 160 on wet pavement.
There were big trucks on the small secondary roads and nowhere to pass them. Noon came and went. 12:15 came and went. We made it to the check-in for 12:30 and were the last car loaded on before the 12:45 departure.
There are so many things I just don't tend to think about. e.g. it's November. We were sailing on the Baltic Sea. Didn't the Edmund Fitzgerald sink when the gales of November came early? And that was only Lake Superior. Rough seas. Everyone on board walked in zigzags. Kinda funny actually once you got over the lilt.
We made it home the rest of the way wishing we could still drive at German lightspeed. Our Salem was glad to see us. Milles mercis to Michele and Loïc for taking care of him while we were away.
