Wrong way

I got directions to a nearby German restaurant. The guy at reception tried to convince me more Germans eat at Thai or Chinese places and that is where I should go for authentic German cuisine. Nice try.
I took the wrong way.
By the time I realized I was on the wrong street and made it back to the hostel it was too late. I have a phone call at nine o’clock and I want to be German punctual for that.
After, I will make attempt two for dinner.
