And once again: GlaDOS, Wheatley, Atlas, Tamara, Wilma and Fiona at Hamburg Airport. This time the trip goes to a land, that was in the headlines the last weeks: Brazil. Shortly after the end of the FIFA World Cup, the RoboCup World Championship takes place in the northeast of Brazil – and of course, the Hamburg Bit-Bots are present!
Because of the air connection we will travel nearly 24 hours until we arrive and that’s why we are sitting in the midnight at the airport. First realization: Until half four am. you are not allowed to go into the departure lounge, but you can wait in the arrival area and there is even power and wifi. Most passengers – that arrive that early – use their time to take a nap, instead of working.
Shortly after the check-in and the security check, which was pretty uncomplicated, we are now at the gate and waiting for the plane. Let’s see, what’s coming up next.
