Up for a continental breakfast. Not sure how many more of those I can take. Off to the autobahn via a tram and stupid me forgot to buy a ticket. I thought the conductor would come and take payment. Well “control” came and bawled me out in a nasty voice and threatened to confiscate my passport. I’d fight him to the death over that. I paid and he stormed off. There were 8 people on the autobahn hitching. I have never seen so many! I phoned Fritz before getting a lift. I took a tram from Basel to the German border and he picked me up there and went to his home which was very nice. What really happened between my mother and Fritz I am not quite sure. He has aged and looks preoccupied and nervous. On edge. We had a beer and a light supper It was a tense reunion He insisted in driving me to camping at Lahr. His wife is in a psychiatric institution in Frieberg. Lahr was quiet until a convoy of Canadian tanks rolled by on its way to the Canadian army base.
