Dear Mum,
yesterday I travelled to Hamburg to my friends Tobias und MP. Together we started today our trip to Bremen, a large town beside the river Weser in the north-western part of Germany. Bremen has an interesting historic oldtown which is worthwile to visit. We neither want to go on a sightseeing-tour through the town nor to make a cruise on the river. We went to Bremen to drive motorkarts in a 5.300 qm hall which spreads over two levels of a factory building.
Now we arrived in front of the kart-hall:
The karttrack is on the 5th and 6th floor. Here you see the marked route and the shadows of karts which are very fast with 6,5 hp.
After waiting for a while I could enter my own kart. I had the No. 17.
... and now I could start!!
Driving a kart is hard work because their steering doesn't have a power steering. After finishing we went in a café and drank a cappuccino to get new energy.
Our next destination was Bochum, a town in western Germany. After checking in in our hotel I moved into my room - when I looked out of the window I saw the main-railway- station.
In the evening we went to the famous musical "Starlight Express" in the Starlight Hall in Bochum. The first performance in Germany was in June 1988 – in the last 21 years more than 12 million members of the audience saw the play so it is the most successful musical in the world which plays in one theatre.
During the show it isn't possible to talk with the actors. So I tried to catch them in the break... and I had luck! I met Electra, the Electricity-locomotive, and Dustin, a coal- waggon who helps Rusty, the main actor, a steam engine-locomotive.
On our way back to the hotel we passed the main-railway-station. It looks really nice with the lights inside.
Back in the hotel I went very tired to bed because it was a taxing day - but is was beautiful with driving a kart and visiting "Starlight Express". Good night, Mum, from Dicker Kumpel
