Scared?

 
Mural taken from Flixbus in full speed in March 2024 on the way from Perth > Singapore > Frankfurt and then... Braunschweig!

From 40+C/104F to 0C/32F. Brrr....

On a Friday afternoon, 8 hours and then into a cold condo. 
That mural was just so fitting!!!

We needed to go to where the tram is, wait (you could see your breath, it was 9p.m and sooo cold!) and I was soooo tired as I can not sleep on the plane... or...bus!!!
The latter: I was sitting beside a stranger!!! I sure would not by accident snuggle up on him!

Oh, this will happen next year again, I suppose!

Imagine: DB (German Railway, Deutsche Bahn) on strike > Flixbus. QANTAS for Adelaide on strike > Jetstar... Ingo checked in Perth... DB on strike again! > Flixbus...
 
Boooooh. I was so looking forward to fly with QANTAS again (they don´t fly Frankfurt anymore) and they are on strike.
 
River picked us up in Adelaide, btw (Pirate-Teddy-recipient, thank you, dear host).

This is for Sami´s COLOURFULWORLD Monday Murals.

"Germany to scare: 30 ruins of days long gone


 Domjüch State Mental Hospital, Neustrelitz, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania

After its opening in 1902, the Domjüch State Mental Hospital was considered a state-of-the-art facility, but just a few decades later, everything changed. During the Nazi era, the sanatorium and nursing home was used as a transit point for many people with disabilities and/or mental illnesses, who were subsequently sent to the Bernburg killing center.

After the end of World War II, the institution was finally abandoned, and the buildings fell into disrepair. Since 2010, however, the Domjüch Preservation Association has been committed to preserving the site, organizing tours, concerts, and theater performances on site. As part of the ARTBASE Festival 2019, 150 international artists and five Berlin collectives decorated the buildings' interiors and exteriors with graffiti."

No cheerful murals today. But I like Booooh! Too!

Sami said...

The first one is really a "boo" moment! A bit scary :) I like the second mural. Hope next year the travel plans don't involve strikes! Thanks for participating in Monday Murals Iris.

Iris Flavia said...

It was a fitting one for sure...

Iris Flavia said...

We always travel to Frankfurt one day in advance, Sami. And I´ve heard QANTAS is not as good as it was anyways... And Flixbus is as bad as DB I had to find out when going to Dortmund, ack!
It´s not Transperth ;-)

River said...

You'll have to make sure to sit next to Ingo then you can snuggle and sleep. Funny weird about so many transport options being on strike all the same day, I hope that never happens again. Qantas is not as good as it used to be. Too expensive now too. The Pirate Teddy (Cookie) is currently in the back porch riding a dinosaur while the little redheads watch, he's pretending it is a rodeo.

Iris Flavia said...

Ingo got the last two seats on that bus back then... it was chaos!
Hehe, cute with the rodeo, hope pics will come!
Yes, sad about qantas. Wednesday Rainman will be on TV (he only agrees to qantas).

Tom said...

...Iris, I wish you a cheerful week!

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you, Tom! The same to you!

Jeanie said...

What a cute little Henry! Have a terrific week!

My name is Erika. said...

That first face is kind of frightening for certain. And It's good to take a place with some bad history and put a positive spin on it. Have a super week. hugs-Erika

Iris Flavia said...

So, you are not scared?! ;-) He tried his best! To a great week!

Iris Flavia said...

It´s frightening that my cam at that speed made such a great pic, isn´t it?!
To a super week, hugs!

Gigi Hawaii. I, too, cannot sleep on the plane and bus, Iris. I, too, have experienced jet lag. I traveled to 13 foreign countries. But now at age 79, I can no longer travel.

Iris Flavia said...

Gigi, that is so sad you have to give up travels! I´d so love to go on another Outback trip but with Ingo being sick... We always need to have medical help at hand.

Christine said...

Creative mural. Interesting about the mental hospital.

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, a truly fitting one. Sad the place is so far away, I´d love to take a look!

Booh looks like it needs to meet Sam and Dean.
