UPDATE: According http://www.zeit.de/mobilitaet/2014-11/gdl-beendet-bahn-streik-schon-samstagabend the strike will end tomorrow (Saturday Nov 8th, 2014) at 6pm!
So there’s another union action against Deutsche Bahn which started at Thursday Nov 6, 2014, 2am and will end Monday Nov 10, 2014, 4am. Good news is, about one third of Deutsche Bahn trains will still operate according to an emergency schedule which is available on-line. Bad news is that they most probably won’t be able to stick to the schedule so you should not try reaching any important appointments while relying on it. Here are some useful links for this situation:

ÄNDERUNG: Laut http://www.zeit.de/mobilitaet/2014-11/gdl-beendet-bahn-streik-schon-samstagabend endet der Streik schon morgen (Samstag 8.11.14) um 18:00 Uhr!
Es gibt seit heute einen weiteren GDL Streik gegen die Deutsche Bahn, von Donnerstag 6.11.14 2:00 Uhr morgens und Montag 10.11.14 4:00 Uhr morgens. Die gute Nachricht ist, daß ca. 1/3 aller Züge fahren, es gibt einen Notfallfahrplan, der auch in die Online-Auskunft eingeflossen ist. Die schlechte Nachricht ist, daß der Notfallfahrplan nicht unbedingt eingehalten werden kann, so daß man sich für wichtigen Termine nicht darauf verlassen sollte. Hier sind ein paar nützliche Links für die Situation:

I organized a CS event which I attended alone in the end, but then this gave me the opportunity to take some pictures during the day which has been styled “the last sunny day of the year” by the weather forecast.

That spider was too interesting not to take a picture of, I’m proud of having its web in the picture:

This guy seems to love nettles, at least he kept still until I could take this shoot 😉 In German it’s a “Laubfalter”, at least using the very nice web page “Die Schmetterlinge Deutschlands” lets me think so. I found him in Technologiepark, right where I described it to be a nice place to spot them in this post.
So instead of going to Burg Altena again we decided to tour around in Dortmund. It’s hard to enumerate all the places we’ve seen today but I’ll try 😉
Dortmunder U (Deep Love Festival), Dortmunder Kunstverein, Street Art Gallery 44309, Gelateria Angelo Losego, Black Plastic Vinyl Shop, Gedenkstätte Steinwache, Dortmund-Ems-Kanal, Fredenbaumpark, Gaststätte Schmiedingslust, Westfalenstadion, beer garden Rote Erde, pub Kumpel Erich, Westfalenpark, Florianturm. Here are some pictures:

On Sunday I’ve been to Aplerbecker Apfelmarkt with friends. I did not document much but used the opportunity to finally see Haus Rodenberg, there also was a little market set up around it, the mayority of the market has been in Aplerbeck itself though. The turtle in the picture I just discovered later when I downloaded the pictures from the camera 😉

So yesterday we did a walking tour as a couchsurfing event in Dortmund. We started by ascending Reinoldikirche tower, went by metro to Rombergpark and took a walk around the main pond. From there the next obvious stop was Phoenix West. Close to Eliasbahn viaduct we met a native guy from Hörde who took us over his favourite “goat path” to some hidden spots. Later we enjoyed Phoenixsee gastronomy and took a look at Phoenixsee while the moon was shining over the construction cranes 😉
