Two German children, Mika and Anna-Lena, who are "very much in love", decided to, you know, elope to Africa. Because it's "very warm there." (They're not wrong.)
So, they snuck out early morning New Year's Day - official witness in tow! (Anna-Lena's seven-year-old sister) - and off they went to the airport.
After a 1km walk to the tram station, the intrepid trio public-transited their way to the Hanover central train station, where some curmudgeon-y guard took notice of their lack of parents, and tricked them into a "free tour" of the police station (yeah, we've heard that one before), and authoritively pointed out that they would not have gotten far without a passport or money.
Oh, really, Mister (or should we say Herr) Policeman?! Ever heard of the currency of LOVE?
Anyway. There's your ill-fated yet adorable love story for the day. Also: Rainbows. And Unicorns. Etc.
