Monday 1st August 2011
All shops are closed here on Sundays, and I wasn’t the only one who got surprised that I couldn’t do grocery shopping yesterday. Benjamin Neglais (French team captain) had a good timing…he has been helping me with the computers past couple of days, and he came to see how things are going. It was right then when I had spent few hours with computers and felt like it would be great to have a break.
We decided to go with Benjamin and Hannah to Kaufland to do some shopping. French team was coming in the evening so Benjamin had to load the fridge for the evening and breakfast. Hannah and I bought only the necessary stuff such as feta cheese and red wine…
After shopping we went to the house where Team France is living. It is just at he end of the runway, close to the restaurant Schinken Stüble. And I must say that they have found really nice place, huge house with Jacuzzi, sauna, gym, solarium… also their dining room and kitchen looks like being in a restaurant. You can ask Benjamin how expensive that all is (it isn’t).
Well, I am living also in a nice apartment with pink bathroom and view to the airfield, and Hannah is staying at the same house, but only on upper floor. Axel told me that due to the competition, all guesthouses around Musbach airfield are full. There are quite many of those, some are only rooms with bathroom and some are separate apartments like mine (and French team).
During the day weather started improving and it was warm enough to put a skirt on :-) In the evening we had first organization meeting, Karl showed a schedule for our “junior team” who are going to do almost it all: field running, blocking the roads which are crossing the airfield, being in the bar, hosting the club house in the evening, setting up the opening party etc.
