The start of the season is upon us and I have a long drive back to Berlin ahead of me on the Thursday before the first match against Werder Bremen on Saturday. It is about 750 miles and will take us most of the day to get back with a crossing booked for 09:20. We might stop off somewhere on route to stretch our legs and take in a few sights. Osnabruck is one possibility but we have nothing planned.
| I might post up a few pictures from the trip once we arrive in Berlin and before the match on Saturday. If all goes to plan I'll get a few snaps taken out the window as we go. But for now I'm going to have to settle for a picture of the car trip computer - not very exciting! | 
The car trip computer the evening before we set out

| Well, the road trip turned into a it of a mixed trip / fiasco. We reached as far as the German Boarder feeling rather smug as the car computer said we had achieved 64mpg and then . . . as we approached Oberhausen, every warning light there ever was came on! A big sign lit up saying STOP - so we did, it appeared a good idea at the time! Our road trip had turned into an epic fail. | |
All was not lost however. We stayed in Oberhausen overnight and managed to get to Berlin by train. We will have to go back to Oberhausen by train next week to collect our car but, we will be in Berlin on Saturday to see the first match of the season!!
Thinking about Saturday I hope the forecast of showers for the match isn't right but I'm sure it'll be great to be there anyway. Werder have had their problems over the last season as well so they will pose an interesting test for Hertha at home. I'm hoping for a good start and to get three points at home to kick off the season would be a very good start indeed. Either way I'm looking forward to being there - it feels like it's been a very long time since last season and, after our experience just before the game, even longer!!
