May 3

But got back 4-5 hours late from Sprout City to D-Dorf on Tuesday, was 14 (!!!) hours late getting home from Paris at noon Thursday, should have been home at 10:00 PM Wednesday. Was late getting to Utrecht (NL) Friday, and train service was canceled to my town Friday as well as to my alternative station (Düsseldorf Airport) on the way back.

A rather crappy week for travel in all four countries (D-F-B-NL).
