It was 6.30 in the morning when we gathered in Schiedam Centrum to leave for Essen. Although it was very early, but it seemed that everybody was awake in the early dark of 14th November. As we moved the roads were getting busier and it was getting brighter. I with Jorit, Annelies, Danielle and Jolien were in my car. Graham, Christina, Niek, Nicolo, Clara, Marte and Rick were in other cars leaving respectively from the Hague and Utrecht.
During the drive in the Netherlands some were seeing the sun coming up and others were getting a nap.

Once I entered Germany I pushed the gas pedal to the bottom. In a few seconds 210 km/h was reached. The other four were watching the KM meter quietly and stressful. Although the top was not reached, I reduced the speed to 180 to avoid panic.
At 8.30 we were at Essen. We were earlier than planned, so we went to cash some money and then we went to a bakery

At Zollverein
At 10.00 we were at Zollverein, the famouse industerial place in Essen. The first look was amazing. It could be seen from far away.

After visiting Anja and Jens we all sat around the table and begun brainstorming about the whole projects and different aspects in different groups. I was with Annelies Nocolo, Jorrit, Graham and partly Christina.
