It is 2:45 am and I am out of the bed, 3:15 I am out of the door and ready to jump into a cab and catch a train to Gatwick airport. Ten stops or so later, the automated voice announces "Gatwick Aiport"so I get off the train chuffed with the fact that my over planning allows me some time to stroll to security. I hand over my ticket to which I am refused entry and advised to catch the train to the North Terminal!
Eventually I am on the plane, sorry to all the wonderful air stewardess out there but I always fall to sleep as soon as I take seat and clip on my safety belt. In an hours time which feels like 15 minutes, I land and head to the hotel, drop my baggage and head out to a meeting. Six hours later I leave to see Altstadt (old city), here I find a strip of bars surrounded by high street/ high end shops which are again surrounded by beautiful old buildings and the serpentine river. The atmosphere is lively and laid back, the crowd is buzzing with people free from work on a Thursday evening. I try one of the steak houses which was so tasty, another good eatery is 'Space Burger', you will find burgers with all meats, sauces and garnishes, I recommend the 'potatoes' (that's wedges to us) with aoili.

The same thing happens the following day except my flight is delayed so I take the coach to Cologne, cut the story short I arrive in London town at 3:00 am and get into work the next day at 9:00 am, only joking it was a Friday. I'm not one to function on less than 6 hours sleep but its days like this where I know that my passion is the driving force behind my energy, my hearts in the right path and i'm ready to take on my next trip.
