After being sick for the last week or so, I decided a relaxing weekend was in order. I had no trips planned - actually, I had NO plans. All I knew was that the weather was going to be great and that I wanted to sleep in, stay in town, and have a stress-free weekend.
Despite my plans of sleeping in, I was awoken around 9:45 a.m. to help a friend who had her laundry stuck in the washing machine. Apparently a piece of the machine has snapped and the lock was not un-locking. She was frantic, but was calmed down soon enough. The Hausmeister must have heard the desperation in her voice on the phone because, despite telling her earlier that she would have to wait until Monday to get her laundry (it was SATURDAY), he came back and somehow unlocked the machine.
There was no point in trying to go back to sleep. Instead, I ended up getting ready for the day. I watched a bit of The Originals, a spin-off of The Vampire Diaries. I'm hooked.
Despite spending those few hours watching The Originals, I managed to get out and into the world for a few hours on Saturday.
Julia, Chris, Joe, and I went out for a Chinese/Thai/Japanese sushi buffet. It was all-you-can-eat, and it was fabulous.
After being sufficiently stuffed, we all headed back to the dorms to change - we were climbing Aachelm.
Aachelm is the largest hill/mountain in Reutlingen and the view of the entire city and surrounding area is wonderful.
After a few bumps in the road, Chris, Lineke, and I were on our way. We walked leisurely up the large hill, stopped at the restaurant on the way to fill up our water bottles, and made it to the top about an hour before sunset.
We enjoyed the tower, as well as the wall overlooking the city, and headed down again. Overall, it took us over 14,000 steps - I received a step counter from AOK and it was cool to see how many steps it took us.
My night was spent watching the remaining episodes available of The Originals.
