11/17 - I get onto a bus and tell the driver Guten abend and he is surprised I speak German and I climb back into the bus through a narrow hole and say entschuldigung. A woman gives me a cookie, feeding it into my mouth as we walk up a steep slope. We walk over the slope and it is a steep slope down. To the left is an edge with water below. People a piling into something like a Ferris wheel, but below there is a giant alligator in the water we can clearly see. The woman asked if this was the last day and a guy says no it’s the first day and I say no we were here all day yesterday so this is the second day. The city is across the water. Will we make it to the bottom where there is an entrance without falling into the water? We are hanging on to a rope, going to fall.
