The journey to Bayreuth was interesting and exciting. Apart from the pleasure of meeting the son again and being able to enjoy his company the journey itself represented a break in what has turned into being a routine. The journey started with a visit to that Swedish emporium to buy a cheap mattress and some bedclothes. The Swedish emporium offered its usual organised chaos. After an hours search in the store the item was found. The woman who had given directions had been equipped with out of date information.
The two hour journey to Bayreuth was stressful with all of that fast-moving German traffic. But the afternoon and evening spent with the son was really most pleasant company. His cooking is really good these days.
A walk was taken along an old railroad track now converted into a cycle path. The walk ended at a park surrounding a lake. The weather was nice, it was evening and it was nice to see the animals that were kept in the park. Rhea birds, ducks and flamingos, donkeys and llamas.
The night was spent on the floor in the sons apartment, comfortable on the thin new mattres covered with quilt from the same company.
The early morning was spent washing up the dishes, and then after a cup of tea the return journey to Landshut was started.
Apart from a road blockage by the police the journey was uneventful. The blockage took place in order to be able to safely salvage a van with a trailer that had broken down in the centre of a motorway junction near regensburg.
