right... time to give a little description of my travel on thursday and friday...
It all started on the bus, unfortunately I don't have pics of that since I slept almost the entire way to Bonn...
Once in Bonn the first thing we did was visit the Museum of which I don't remember the name, and not much of its content either cause it was not the kind of museum I'd eum do at two hours :roll: ... way too big, way too much information and way too precious to just rush through... it was about the German history after world war II thus from 1945 onwards. It was very interesting and saw many things which I already new from history last year but which now got an impression, got a view, an image connected to it... but as I said two hours for such an amount of information is just waaaaay too short...but interesting.
After we lunched in the afternoon we went on to Haribo-shop in Bonn, where I was surprised and I thought "GET ME OUT OF HERE I'M GONNA BUY THE ENTIRE SHOP" but I got myself together and looked for the sugary bears ... after which I decided I'll buy something for me and my mom, something for my dad and something for on the bus :lol: AND I managed
... didn't buy more than needed... and then we were FREEEEEEEEEEEEEE... we visited the city of Bonn, the Altstadt that is where you also find christmas how they call it in English in German it's Weihnachstmarkt... and we wandered around a bit looking for Beethovens Geburtshaus (so his house of birth, where he grew up) but unfortunately came too late
and only managed to take some pictures from the garden of the house. after that we went for some drink and returned to the bus to leave for Köln.
In front of the City Hall in Bonn
for if you really want to get ill:
A church in Bonn, but don't ask me which one
:lol: ...I forgot *that's news*
in the garden of Beethoven's Geburtshaus:
we arrived Köln later than expected and almost feared that Nathalie would be there before I ever got there... BUT lucky we were, we arrived there half an hour in advance... after which Nathalie called me and I told her where she could find me... I was just chatting with some friends in the entree of the hotel when I heard the door open and tadaaaam who was there?!
yupyupyup I rushed over to her and was very happy to take her in my arms again... after some minutes of waiting and waiting for a couple who stayed in and nobody knew where they were we were able to go to "Früh am Dom" where everybody ate (except me for I had a terrible headache which prevented me of getting hungry) and we took some lovely pictures had some lovely chats
and got loads of interest from my teachers :roll: (and fellow students who even asked me the day after, was that a friend of yours kitty? no it was an alien who coincidentally dropped near me and I started talking to :shock: what a question :lol: OF COURSE IT'S A FRIEND OF MINE!) after we dined we went of for a Glühwein but it was rather difficult to find one as ... tudum Weihnachstmarkt closes at 9 :lol: :lol: my god, that's when nightlife starts :shock: ... BUT we found one
and I survived it ... my first Kölner Glühwein ^^
together with a good friend... imagine my happiness
we walked around a bit and went back to the hotel I was very sad when I had to say goodbye and somehow I didn't want to let go of Nathalie
but I had to ... with the small hope that maybe we found some time to meet up again on Friday but regrettably Nathalie didn't find the time ... therefore we took some pictures
so you can enjoy it a little bit Nathalie as if you were there
with a smile saying "I don't even drink beer how on earth will they ever believe me now uh" :lol:
our Glühwein "Auf Tilo"!
This one I took for Klodi: we visited the Chocolat Museum in Köln :lol:
