Middelkerke Dream: 6th-Floor Terrace Apartment Awaits!
Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because we’re about to dive headfirst into the bewitching, potentially batty, adventure that is my trip to the "Bewitching Apartment with Garden and Terrace" in Wadern, Germany. I'm warning you now: my brain is a chaotic tapestry of wanderlust, overthinking, and an unhealthy obsession with good coffee. Here we go…
Day 1: Arrival - Or, How I Almost Missed the Entire Point of Existening.
Morning (or, "When Did the Alarm Clock Become My Arch-Nemesis?"): 6:00 AM. The siren song of a blaring alarm. I swear, whoever invented these things should be forced to listen to them for eternity. Scrambling, I somehow manage to shove myself into the shower—a brief moment of clarity before the chaos. Packing, a last-minute panic attack about whether I should have opted for the "rolling suitcase" over this godforsaken backpack. (Spoiler alert: I definitely should have.)
Mid-Morning (or, "German Trains, My Only Hope"): Airport! Frankfurt, here I come! Travel woes? Naturally. The train was late. My carefully constructed schedule? Utterly demolished. My internal monologue shifted from "excited explorer" to a highly strung, caffeine-deprived banshee. I started to question all the life choices that led me here, and then again, the anticipation for Wadern's apartment kicked in.
Afternoon (or, "Finding the Bewitching Apartment…and My Sanity"): The train finally rumbled into Merzig. From there, I had to figure out the bus to Wadern. After some fumbling with the bus stop (I swear, those German bus schedules are written in a code I don't understand), I finally…reached the apartment. The "Bewitching Apartment." Seriously, the name alone already promised something special. Turns out, it was even better than I imagined. The garden! The terrace! The smell of fresh-baked bread wafting from a nearby bakery…I thought I'd found heaven. Settling in, I made my first cup (or more) of coffee, and just stared at the view, which was more majestic than my worries had ever been.
Evening (or, "Germany, You've Conquered My Stomach"): Wandering into Wadern itself, I felt an instant enchantment. Cobblestone streets, half-timbered houses, the air buzzing with a quiet charm. I ate German with a local restaurant. Honestly, the food was incredible, and while I felt like I was a walking, talking cliché, I didn't care. At all. Back at the apartment, I sat on that terrace with a glass of local wine, absolutely content in the twilight.
Day 2: Exploring - or, "Where's My Passport, Again?"
Morning (or, "The Joy of Coffee, Part 2"): Coffee on the terrace. Pure bliss. I spent a luxurious hour, simply absorbing the quiet beauty of the surroundings. Made a rough plan for the day, including a visit to Bostalsee, a nearby lake – a total must-do, according to the internet.
Mid-Morning (or, "Lost in Translation"): Decided to explore the town a little deeper but…I'm not going to lie, the language barrier is real. Pointing, smiling, and a generous helping of charades became my new best friends. Found a charming local bakery bursting with fresh pastries. The woman behind the counter gave me the warmest smile, which was probably intended to be kind or a curse but I still bought a German pastry that was absolutely divine!
Afternoon (or, "Bostalsee Blues"): Arriving at Bostalsee… It's gorgeous, I'll give it that. But, being me, I managed to misjudge the weather. Let’s just say, a slightly damp afternoon resulted due to sudden rain…and a few existential thoughts on my ability to plan anything. I'm beginning to think my true talent is embracing the chaos.
Evening (or, "The Art of Relaxation, German-Style"): Stumbled into a cozy restaurant in town. Ordered more German food, of course. (I'm starting to think I should buy stock in sausages.) After dinner, back at the apartment, I sunk into a book on the terrace. Rain had stopped, leaving a light mist in the air. I swear, something about that moment just felt incredibly right. I could almost hear the apartment sighing with contentment.
Day 3: Hiking and Highs…or, "When Nature Turns into a Therapist"
Morning (or, "Rise and Grind, Hiking Edition"): Decided to actually follow through on a plan: a hike! The thought of tackling a German hiking trail filled me with a strange mix of nerves and excitement. Prepared a picnic: cheese, bread, some questionable fruit.
Mid-Morning (or, "My Body is a Temple…of Hiking"): The hike was…challenging. The trails were winding, up and down, and my legs were screaming after a while. The reward? Breathtaking views. Forest scents. A moment of pure, unadulterated awe. I felt so incredibly alive, forgetting everything and being completely myself.
Afternoon (or, "Picnic Perfection…and a Napping Cat"): Found a perfect spot for my picnic. Ate my cheese and bread sandwich, and…fell asleep. Just a proper, sun-drenched nap in the middle of the great German outdoors. When I woke up, a cat, probably belonging to a nearby farm, was calmly staring at me. (In retrospect, the cat probably knew all the trails and might've been judging my poor choice of backpack).
Evening (or, "The Apartment, My Safe Haven"): Back at the apartment, I sprawled on the sofa, my limbs heavy but happy. Made the most of the evening… with wine and a good movie. That terrace was still my sanctuary as the sun set, painting the sky in shades of orange and pink.
Day 4: Departure - or, "Goodbye, Wadern…Til Next Time?"
Morning (or, "The Saddest Cup of Coffee Ever"): My last morning in the Bewitching Apartment. Sipped my coffee slowly, savoring the last moments of peace. I could have stayed forever.
Mid-Morning (or, "Packing…or, How Much Stuff Can One Person Accumulate in Four Days?"): The dreaded task: packing. The backpack felt heavier, now filled with souvenirs, clothes, and a heart full of memories.
Afternoon (or, "Adios, Wadern!"): The bus, the train…back to reality. A twinge of sadness, but also a sense of rejuvenation.
Evening (or, "Already Planning the Next Trip"): I got home, slightly jet-lagged, but still buzzing with the echoes of Wadern. I'm already dreaming of coming back. And you know what? That chaos? The imperfections? The slightly damp weather? All of it… that made the trip unforgettable.
So, like, what *is* your deal? What are you *about*?
Ugh, the existential question. Right. Well, I'm about… surviving. Honestly. I'm about trying to find the good bits, even when the world feels like it's actively trying to trip me. I'm about pizza, naps, and avoiding the urge to spontaneously burst into interpretive dance. I'm also, apparently, about following instructions from the internet to meticulously format these FAQs. Go figure.
You ever, you know, *fail*?
Fail? My dear sweet internet stranger, failure and I are practically best friends. We grab coffee (or, you know, digital equivalent), bitch about the world, and plan our next ill-fated adventure. Let me tell you a story. I once tried to bake a cake. Seemed simple enough, right? Followed the recipe *exactly*. Except… I apparently misread "one cup of flour" as "a whole darn bag." The resulting… *thing*… was less cake, and more a dense, brick-like object that could probably double as a home defense weapon. Utter disaster. But hey, at least the dog got a good chew toy out of it. So, yeah. Failure. It's my middle name. (Okay, not really. It's actually Mildred. But that's a story for another day…)
What’s the *best* part of your life? (Don't be all 'everything is good'...)
Okay, okay, I won't cop out with the "everything's great" nonsense. The *best* part? Hmm… It's a tie. One is the sheer, unadulterated *JOY* of a perfect cup of coffee in the morning, followed by a solid, uninterrupted nap. Seriously. That, right there, is peak performance. And the other best thing is people. Crazy, flawed, infuriating, brilliant people. They make everything interesting. They also make me want to hide under the covers sometimes. Life is a glorious, chaotic mess, and that's the best part.
Your biggest fear? Go on, be honest...
Alright, deep breath. My biggest fear? Mostly boredom. Like, the soul-crushing, life-draining kind of boredom. Because, man, I've been there. I once spent an entire weekend watching paint dry. Literally. It was a new color I'd picked out. And the worst part? It *didn't even dry that well*. (Seriously, what a rip-off!). But beyond that, I think it's losing my curiosity. Losing that *urge* to figure things out, to laugh at the absurdity of it all. That, my friend, is a fate worse than a burnt cake. Actually, maybe not *worse*, but… you catch my drift.
Ever regret anything? And don't say 'no regrets!'
Oh *hell* yes. Regret is my constant companion. Do you want a rapid-fire round? Okay. Okay, here we go: * That haircut in '08. *Shudder*. * That time I said what I thought to my boss. (Worth it, though.) * All those times I didn't call my grandma more. * The questionable fashion choices of my teenage years. *Seriously*… And you know what? I'm probably going to regret saying I regret all of these things in 5 years time as well! See, it is a never ending cycle.
What are you working on right now?
Literally? These FAQs. But more broadly? Me. Always me. Trying to be a little less of a hot mess each day. Learning to breathe through the chaos. Also, I'm *obsessed* with finally fixing my leaky faucet. Seriously, the drip, drip, drip is driving me insane! It's a metaphor for something, probably. I just haven't figured out *what* yet. Maybe the endless drip of self-doubt? Yep. Probably.
If you could have *any* superpower, what would it be?
Okay, this is tough. Flight is tempting. But think about it: bugs, wind, the sheer logistical nightmare of finding a bathroom. Teleportation? Instant travel! Wait, what if I teleported into a wall? No thanks. Ah, I got it. The power to perfectly understand and communicate with animals. Imagine! I could finally know what my dog is *actually* thinking when he stares intently at a blank wall. Probably something profound. Or maybe just, "Where are the treats?" Probably the latter. And imagine all the gossip I could get from the squirrels in the park! (Don't judge me.)
What makes you laugh?
Everything. Absolutely everything. The absurdity of life, the way my cat stares at me like I’m an idiot, the utter chaos of a toddler’s birthday party, the random quotes that pop up in my head at the worst possible moments. But there’s this one thing...remember that "cake" I tried to bake? Just the *memory* of it makes me cackle. I mean, come on, "a whole darn bag"? It was epic. It was tragic. It was comedy gold. And it reminds me, that even when I'm failing epically, there's room for a little laughter. Seriously, good thing I'm not a baker. (Though, if anyone wants to buy a slightly-burnt, dense, weaponized cake...I'm selling.)
What's the one thing you want people to know about you?
That I'm *trying*. Really, truly, trying. Trying to be a better person, trying to be kind, trying to make the world a little less… awful. And that even when I'm failing spectacularly (see: cake, haircut, etc.), I'm still learning, I'm still laughing (mostly at myself), and I'm still here. So, yeah. Just... trying. And that, I think, is enough. For now.
