Muphey's Law
Yes, it was for sure Murphey's Law on Saturday what could go wrong went wrong.
So let me start the story of the Ball in Heidelberg.
Saturdaymorning I woke up early since I went to bed not late at all :)
I still had to do some shopping, first I started to by some batteries for my camera, and I went to the center to some new black socks :)
When I got home, the rain started... so when I left for the meeting point at Oostplein it was raining so with almost all my luggage I left my house.
Right at twelve I was at the meeting point, Kati was already waiting there for some time in the rain without an umbrella. There we had to wait for some moments on Patrick our driver :) First we had to pick up a cable for Hoi Lam, and then I found out that my suit was still hanging in my house :)))
So first we went to pick up the cable and then we parked for some moments the car at my place to pick up my suit. Finally we could leave Rotterdam at 12.20 to go to Eerbeek, yes the metropolis Eerbeek :)) When we arrived there, we called Hoi Lam, and she was still shopping with her mother and sister.... so we waited for 30 minutes on Hoi Lam. Since everything was against us, we took to offer to drink a Chinese Tea. We had some nice tea with cool candies and cookies.
Then we left finally our travel adventure to Heidelberg. On our way to Heidelberg when it was already dark and raining, there was an accident on the highway, and in Germany they just close the highway.... so we had to find a new way :))) And also due to the darkness (no lights next to the highway) and for some time really heavy rain... we couldn't drive that fast. Before we were near Heidelberg I asked Anna from Heidelberg for some more streetnames, since the one I had written down was not in the TomTom. Anna wrote me three other ones back... and all were not there, long live the NS Tomtom :)))
So on my gut feelings of two years ago we entered Heidelberg and went to the alttown. After a short while we found by chance the sandgasse street :) But then the next obstacle was there.... where is the gym. We turned right while we needed to turn left... and after some time we found out :) So we finally got there at 19.45 :) Then we really needed dinner, we were hungry... after some huge discussion where to eat we finally found a nice bar, which also made pizza's. We ordered 4.... and yes just three came, after some minutes we asked when the fourth would come.... and they forgot that one, and still needed to make that one... Murphey's Law in Optima Forma :) At 22.45 we finally entered the Castle :D Instead between eight and nine as planned..... How nice :) But now I had a lot to write here ;) I always look on the brightsight of life!
The band was cool and played great dance music, and then I mean music to dance the ballroom and latin dances on. I met many friends, and had a good time. We left at three in the night, and went to my KING SIZE matress :) Anna Gabriel from the CD also slept on my highest matress :) There were already two huge matresses so I thought that mine would be the same.... but mine was even 10 cm higher :) So at least we could beat the other locals with that, since AEGEE-Paris 12, AEGEE-Leiden 17 and AEGEE-Amsterdam 20 persons.... and we just 4....
I wouldn't sleep since many people were snorring but ok :) At least I had a nice matress :)
SUNDAY
We got up after 10, then finally Beatrice came to wake us up, already many people were awake. After we were awake, we put all the stuff in the car and went to the Brunch and at 13.15 the guided tour started. It was a nice tour and we left Heidelberg at 14.30; this time less delay and I was home at 20.15 :)

I don't have time for posting on 2 blogs. Even this one post was more than enough. And maybe you remember what I said - I will not come to EBM, it's too expensive. Greetz!
Hey Rene!
