Germany trip 7.2024

Diverging from the usual topics: we took the whole fam to Germany this summer. We arrived in Frankfurt on July 5, and took a train to Bingen am Rhein where we boarded the Rhein In Flammen cruise.


We went to Köln for a few days, and toured the Dom (one of the Misters 15 for scale).


In Hannover we rented a Ferienhaus: a converted windmill. We visited family in Hannover.


I loved Berlin, it was amazing. We went to some of the big sights like the Reichstag / Brandenburger Tor / Holocaust Memorial, had some really great Turkish food, etc.

Berlin was also the site of our Crowdstrike Falcon story: we tried to go to the Monster Kabinett but they had to close the exhibits because all of the computers running the animatronics crashed and could not be recovered that day. We aren't entirely sure it was Crowdstrike related, but the timing was about right.


We went to Stuttgart to see P!nk in concert, as one does. We also met up with more family.


In the last part of the trip we toured Schloß Heidelberg, and flew back on July 22.
