1337, Hector completes his trek and arrives at Traben-Trarbach to be greeted by Clive and Maggie ...as we leave the Bahnhof..."Hi Mr. Taylor"...Maggie can't believe it..."you've only been here two minutes”...it is Herr Bucke in his taxi...so we are driven to the Goldene Traube where Herr Richard Allmacher, who really does limp, greets us and sits us down for a glass of wine...
Biers at the Station Bar is now the tradition, Franziskaner vom Fass...Hector was looking forward to winding up mein host after Glasgow Rangers F.C. took a well earned point off VFB Stuttgart (his team) in the Champions League a few days earlier. Alas mein host is not a well man...
And so to the famous T-T to Wolf tractor…Clive was last to pay as always.
A cheeky rose wine to start led to another moment of recognition. “Hi! Thought you wouldn't make it here...” a chap Steve and I met at Gaffel in Köln years ago who had never been to T-T is now also a regular at Wolf.
After 4 bottles of Wolfer Klosternarren-Sekt (on top the aperitif wines)...Maggie declared it was time to bale before we reached the place where she fell over last year...and wore the chips…so back in the tractor and back to Frank’s for some Reissdorf Kölsch and a chat with Rosi… one day we will have a conversation in any language…
