Kirmes

I spent the weekend in the Kassel area with old friends. It was very nice to be back there, the nature around there is so beautiful and the weather was great! I went to Padeborn for a few hours on Saturday to look at stores and then I went back to Kassel. Saturday night we went to a kirmes. Its like a mini-oktoberfest, big tent, live band and a lot of people! There is one every weekend and it moves around to different villages every week.





Today Im in Leipzig, I drove here last night from Kassel. I think im staying here until tomorrow morning and then Im off to Berlin! That will be really exciting, Iv never been there and Im really looking forward to going there!
We went to town to have ice cream saturday afternoon and on our way back I got a flat tire on my bike... have to fix that today..

When I was on my way here to the hotel last night I had to call them to get directions because my gps was not really working. He tried to give me directions for 5 minutes, his english was really bad and I didnt really understand his german so he just gave up and hung up on me! :O It was 9.45 and I had to be at the hotel before 10... I tried calling again but they didnt pick up. I had to stop and ask someone else so I finally got here at 10... Im not staying at this hotel again.
