Language Barrier


We pass by a giant VW showroom and service center (huge, really), and turn to head down the avenue to the "altstadt" or old city.


We see trains running down the street and figure they will save us some time on the way home.


I call the hotel and ask them how long the streetcars run. The woman is confused, puts me on hold and tells me that she doesn't know what I mean. I mumble something about "trains that run on the street" and she says with derision, "You mean the Tram?" I agree. They run late, she tells me, so we'll be ok getting back, but she also says they don't run to the hotel.


We figure we'll deal with that later.
