Day 43     Sunday, October 12, 2025

I had a nice quiet day at home working on my journal and blog and Bob went to the Planetarium.  He is writing today’s blog.

I went to the Carl-Zeiss Planetarium, which was disappointing. Rather than being called a Planetarium, it should be called a “360 degree domed theatre” with a few pictures of space and space travel at the entrance. The movie was about the possibility of alien life on distant galaxies. With an English headset the movie was entertaining.

Outside the Planetarium is a giant park with miles of walking trails. At the town square contestants were playing in a “pétanque” tournament. There were about 20 teams.

The journey home took twice as long as planned. Apparently there were 2 accidents on 2 different tram lines. My 1st tram never arrived so I took a 2nd tram-line to get close to our apartment. The 2nd tram went one stop and everyone was forced off. So I took a 3rd tram back to the main train station. From here I had to take an intercity train and then a regional bus to get home. Quite the ride!
