The Morning After - 7/8

The wedding reception ended at 5:30AM(!!!!!!!). As late and long as the reception went (time-wise), the hours passed quickly. At no time did I feel tired.

As we exited the hotel, the sun was coming up. The last of the guests and family scattered to their various sleeping quarters. Maike & Johann gave Jim & I a lift back to Hotel Hahn. We slept so late, we missed the free breakfast at the hotel. This despite the best efforts of the sun to wake me at 9:30 by shining directly into my face as it laid on the pillow. We finally rose around noon, and strolled the Stadtweg in search of lunch - a bit of a struggle given very few businesses are open on Sunday in Germany. Most of the day was spent sleeping off the previous evening's festivities.

Paul informed us of the following day's excursion to Denmark, announcing that he would come to the hotel to collect us "at 10:30 or 11:00". That was the clue that Johann would not be joining us- Johann would likely tell us, "Be waiting outside the hotel at 10:47." After a late supper at Bistro Marvil on the Stadtweg, we retired for the night.
