Alles top – komme gerne wieder!
Pros:

War nur für eine kurze Nacht da. Musste am Morgen um fünf bereits auf den Zug. Vor lauter Nervosität konnte ich nicht richtig schlafen – lag, nicht am Hotel nur an mir selber. Alles gut!

Cons:

Der Wegdienst hat nicht geklappt – hatte auf 4:35 Uhr bestellt. Geläutet hat es um 5:00 Uhr.
