In the evening we went to Rania. This is an Indian restaurant that has been awarded a Michelin star. But first we had to park, of course at very reasonable prices.

Now for something that really gets on my nerves. You book the restaurant, for which you have to leave a credit card as security. Fair enough. You have to confirm the reservation the day before in case you are senile or whatever. Sometimes you also get a call in addition. Fair enough by me. But then, three minutes before the reservation time, you get a text message saying that the table is ready now. Thanks for the info, otherwise I would have driven around the block three more times. What's the point? This is annoying for everyone and not particularly professional, either.

What happens if I don't let them know that I'm on my way? Will someone from the long line in front of the restaurant get my table?

Of course, it was rather empty inside and it remained that way throughout the evening. Perhaps a third full.
