Let's start the third and final part of my little trip to Cologne. ^^
Next day started way too early for me, but I wanted to get everything done in time. My alarm woke me around seven in the morning and I felt like dead. The day before was just too much for me. But nevertheless I got up, went to the bath, got dressed and packed the rest of my luggage. I also stripped the bed and made my way down for breakfast.
After that I was ready to leave and went up again to get my luggage. This time for the way down I wanted to take the elevator. Well, it was quite some adventure. XD It always wanted to get up instead of down and I didn't fit in there with the others. After something like five times the other people finally made their way down and I was able to finally take the elevator. It was quite strange. Luckily everything went fine when I was inside. I hate elevators too much. >_<
I checked out and went to the nearby tram station. Had to wait ten minutes. While waiting an older woman asked me if anything will open that day, because she wanted to get groceries. I told her no, because it's Good Friday and it's a holiday. Was kinda confused by that.
Finally my tram arrived and I was able to start my journey back home. Changed trains at Neumarkt again and arrived back at Cologne main station. First I checked from where my bus would go and since it was cold and I still had plenty of time left, I decided to get back inside the main station to keep myself warm.
After wandering around and looking through some shops I sat down and checked my ticket for the bus again and I suddenly discovered that I was too early. I thought I would have to leave an hour earlier than I actually had to leave. I decided on spot to get something to eat at Starbucks and I also had a tea and called my mum to tell her that I had the time wrongly remembered.
I finally had a chance to charge my phone a last time before leaving. ^^
I spend the rest of my time browsing through my apps while using the wlan from Starbucks and left half an hour before the actual time for my bus. It was still freezing outside and there were two different stations where my bus was supposed to arrive. That was really inconvenient, because no one knew at which station the bus would actually arrive.
As always I was at the wrong station and had to hurry across the street to get to the other one where I lined up and got to store away my luggage. While boarding I was lucky enough to get a seat at the window and one with an outlet. I also was able to use the wlan from the bus. With all this I thought the journey back home wouldn't get that bad.
Well, I was wrong. The drive itself was okay and the driver was nice, helpful and a bit of the "too funny" side, but this one group of guys was so annoying and drinking straight through the eight hours drive. Seriously, that's just not normal anymore. -.-"
Stops on the way back to Berlin
- 12:50 Cologne
- 13:50 - 14:00 Wuppertal
- 16:05 - 16:50 Break
- 20:15 Berlin
We left Cologne five minutes late but arrived in Wuppertal ten minutes early. Which was kind of funny. We then took off again and there was nothing bad the whole drive, except this group of guys.
I was so glad that I was able to connect to the free wi-fi of the bus. So I was able to let out all of my fangirl emotions on skype to let Riki know everything of it. ^^ I also used the time to skype a bit with Lulu and even was able to make a date with my lovely two girls from Paris and Kao for the next day. Remember when I wrote about DIR EN GREY in Paris. Right exact these two visited Berlin at the time around the heidi. tour. I knew no matter what or how tired I was I had to meet them again, because we had so much fun together. ^^
We arrived in Berlin in time and there were already my parents waiting to get me. They promised they would fetch me there so I don't have to struggle with my luggage through the public transport again. We also decided to go eat out and we went to have some sushi. Yummy as always. *^*
I told them everything an tried not to fangirl too much. XD
Finally home I was dead tired and did nothing but relax, since I knew it would be a hard next day with a lot of walking again. ^^I was so glad that I was able to connect to the free wi-fi of the bus.

That's it for my Cologne x heidi. trip. I'm so glad I decided to do this trip even though I had to travel alone and they came to Berlin in the end too. I'm glad I made this experience and now I know that I can travel alone and that I'm still able to find the way.
A big THANK YOU to Kanzen Music (even when the organisation was a bit confusing and felt unorganized) for bringing heidi. to Europe and a big ありがとう to heidi. for touring through Europe. You made another one of my biggest dreams come true!!!
I hope all of you enjoyed my posts about it and that you had as much fun reading these as I had writing them. ^^
