#10 - a lot about the English language
#9 - there is such a thing as too much free time
#8 - riding a bike in the snow is dangerous
#7 - missing your last train isn't always a bad thing
It was the middle of January and Gemmani decided to face the cold and get out of the apartment one night during the final days of the winter break. We thought we'd head up to Bamberg since we hadn't been there much before Christmas. It was meant to be a simple night out - get dinner, have a drink or two, then head home probably by 11.
But as luck would have it, that was the night we discovered the Irish Pub. The pub that reconnected Gemma with her roots (or you know, another island geographically close and often mistakenly related to her roots). We ended up having such a great time, we decided to aim for the last train, which left around 12:30am. Since Bamberg's station is a bit outside the city center, and we hadn't been there much before, we decided to leave a little early just in case. So at midnight we gathered our things, paid our tab and started the trek back to the station. We arrived at the station at 12:15 am. But it was surprisingly quiet. When we checked the departure board, we saw that the last train back was actually at 12:13, not 12:30 (oops...). But instead of getting upset, or taking a 40€ taxi ride home, we jumped in the little play helicopter, considered our options, then headed back into town to party the night away till the first morning train in 4 short hours.
Even though it was a cold Thursday night in the middle of January, no students were in town, and most the bars were closed by the time we got back from the station, we managed to find one sketchy little underground dance club and dance the night away! Despite the misunderstandings, unexpected delays and frigid weather, we didn't let any of it get us down and ended up having one of our best nights in Germany!
