Bari Day 2

The teams wanted to be on site as early as possible. The doors opened for the teams at 8:30 am (officially). So breakfast at 7:00 am! Pack everything up, get on the bus, drive off.

Everything was going well until suddenly: traffic jam. But Samed saved us and steered us past the traffic jam through Bari. We bumped into the Bohlebots, who were using the same route. Result: 8:25 a.m. arrival. There were already quite a few teams in the building.

The first runs: BioBrause (YT) I don't need to comment on. I don't have any videos of the other teams yet. I might deliver them later. Bummelzug had very good runs. Theseus, once again, had the worm in it. The fourth run, however, was almost perfect. Result of the first day: BB in 1st place, TH in the top three (the first three places were blacked out), BZ in 5th place. What more could you want?

Getting the points was not so easy. Maze (Entry) was published on Discord! You need an account for that! Line (Entry) was posted the next morning on a note on the wall of Sala 8... It makes you wish Julian and Alex were here.

After a delicious dinner, prepared mainly by Matthias, I took the time to explore Mola di Bari. In addition to a few churches, the "little town" has a large market square (at least I assume that a market is also held on the square). There is a children's carousel on it. It does NOT close at 18:00, but opens! The square was still empty.

I then walked to the pier in search of a place to swim. There is hardly any sandy beach here. I climbed into the water over the big stones to the small fish. On the way back to my accommodation, I passed the square again: Cheers, hustle and bustle. Children playing football, excited Italian conversations. Just the way you imagine life in the south to be. (Unfortunately, I didn't get the right photo)

Programming continued well into the night. Even the furniture was included for the test track.
