Time Travel / Germany 1983 / Part 2 - Bad Ems

 

Bad Ems (postcard)

I had left Sweden on a Friday, by night train, and travelled down from Hamburg via Koblenz to Obernhof an der Lahn on Saturday - not sure when exactly I arrived at Klostermühle (see my previous post), but probably late afternoon. 

The next day being a Sunday, I assume there was probably some kind of morning worship service between breakfast and lunch. In the afternoon it seems we were free to do whatever we wanted, as my photo album tells me that I ended up visiting Bad Ems (an old spa town located on both banks of the River Lahn, between Obernhof and Koblenz), with a couple who kindly invited me to come along with them. 

And on Monday afternoon I went to Bad Ems again; this time with a whole group of girls. As I rememer it, people were generous all week to include me - the foreign visitor... I think one of my biggest "problems" was actually to get people to talk to me in German, rather than practising their own English! ;)  (And I also recall finding it strangely difficult myself to switch quickly between the two different foreign languages.)

There was an old Roman spa well preserved, from which you could still drink the water.
Possibly healthy (with lots of minerals in it) - but not really "to my taste"... 



The gang of girls I was hanging out with in Bad Ems on Monday afternoon. Looks like a good day to enjoy an ice cream at a street café... :)
