D.h. Freitags 24.45 Bettruhe. Samstags 5.00 klingelt der Wecker. 6.10 Abfahrt Luxembourg Gare. 8.35 Ankunft Koblenz, umsteigen in den finalen Zug Richtung St. Johann im Pongau. Ankunft 17.10 in Österreich. Mein guter Freund Steve Leisen und der beste Fahrer der Welt Gaga erwarten uns schon mit offenen Armen 😉 17.25 Ankunft im Hotelzimmer. Nur schnell den Koffer im Zimmer abstellen und mit dem Queue Koffer weiter Richtung Spielsaal. Unterwegs noch ein paar Billard Kollegen begrüssen und ab in die Halle. Habe Einspielzeit von 18.00-18.30 bekommen. Nach 15 min merke ich schon das es keinen Wert hat, nach 11 Stunden Zugfahrt und 4 Stunden schlaf, sich weiter einzuspielen. Macht nur den Kopf kaputt auf den engen Löchern 😉 Also ab zum Spa mit meinem kleinem Masseur Diego, ein wenig schwimmen […]
