Day 2: Lidl, KVV, ESK

Gabriel and Jocelyn were eager to see their school today (even though the school year won't begin until next week). The closest station where there are direct trams to Europäische Schule Karlsruhe (European School Karlsruhe, ESK) is at Europaplatz, a 5-minute walk from our residence.

We had lunch at Post Galerie, a shopping mall at Europaplatz. To our pleasant surprise, we found Lidl, a supermarket chain that sells food at substantially lower prices than Alnatura.

But before the grocery shopping spree, we took a KVV tram to ESK. Well...two trams, as tram #4 (the direct tram to ESK) was re-routed for the last three weeks due to track maintenance. A 20-minute trip turned into a 50-min trip; this gave the kids ample opportunities to horse around on the tram.

We finally arrived at the school, and Gabriel and Jocelyn were happy posing in front of the school.
