Monday morning 6:45am. Snow. Ice. -3C degrees. German farmers are demonstrating, blocking roads, city centers, autobahn entrances and exits.
Why? It’s a nationwide protest over planned cuts to agricultural sector subsidies.
Challenge accepted! Or like hubby says: having a bit of craic.
A little Odyssee to find my booked rental car (a longer story). But once I had found the car and made it on the autobahn, there was hardly anyone, especially no tractors. Lucky me.
Instead they blocked my parents…
Daddy calling and checking on me. He’s stuck on the autobahn with tractors blocking the traffic by driving 5kmh on purpose. Of course.
It took my mum 2 hours instead of 20min to make it to her hospital appointment.
You have to be patient, protests are planned to continue for the rest of the week…
