Day nine: Wien - return to Karlsruhe

The landlady came around noon to pick up the apartment keys and to return our safety deposit. The cab ride to the airport was smooth as there was not much traffic on the roadway. We arrived at the airport a bit early and ended up having more sachertorte and apfelstrudel at a cafe. Once again, no one checked our photo identifications throughout the return journey.

We had to wait for over 90 minutes at Frankfort airport's train station for our fast train to Karlsruhe. This was not a train delay, but more of my stinginess. Our hugely discounted train tickets (roundtrip for about 50€ for our family of four), which we bought weeks ago, were valid only on the later train.

The leaves have all come out during our trip to Vienna. The boulevards in Karlsruhe are now lined with colorful flowers and green foliage. This is going to be a beautiful spring in Germany for us.
