I've been here before, but I'm always a bit reluctant to tell people about it, because it ain't much.
When I was stationed at Zweibrücken Air Base in 1988, my parents came over to spend Christmas. We had rail passes, and each day we'd take the train to somewhere and check it out: Trier, Köln, Heidelberg etc. It's undoubtedly my favorite set of memories from my service here, and I have a lot of great memories from then.
Well, one day we decided we were going to Baden-Baden, so we hopped on the train and rode it here. When we got off the train, I realized I'd left my camera on the train.
We taked to the ticket office people, then sat in the station as DeutscheBahn called ahead, found the camera, and put it on another train to come meet us at the station. This took a bit more than an hour, and essentially ate up all the time we had... so when we got the camera, we got on the next train and headed back to Zweibrücken.
So I've been to Baden-Baden.... barely. Coming here has been a twenty year project.
