Bremen!!! (Stoppover in Hamburg...)

We did it!!! We made it to Bremen!! Alive, Safe, In One Piece.

Bremen! Really cool gothic Buildings

Hanging with piggs

On the way to Bremen we had a change in Hamburg. We decided to get out and have a hamburger which we thought was hysterical.

We boarded the train and went back to Bremen to explore the "Fairytale City." I've posted the Fairytale below by the Brothers Grimm in case anyone is interested.

Found the famous statue!

When we were leaving Bremen to head to airport - the song "Hey Hey Hey Goodbye was blasting" outside the tram station. We took this as a great sign, and a great end to an unbelievable month of raging, eurotripping, and taking it all in.

Sorry just think this photo is hysterical

Last stop (bagel store of course). We had to kill some time so grabbed a last mean and wrote in our journals!!

Snapple. Bagels. And heading back to UK

Then we had to go home :(. We were so paranoid at the airport that I wore 7 teeshirts including 2 jackets. Ryanair was being really stingy that night. 

FAIRYTALE BELOW FOR ANYONE INTERESTED:

FairyTale: Town Musicians of Bremen

In the story a donkey, a dog, a cat, and a rooster, all past their prime years in life and usefulness on their respective farms, were soon to be discarded or mistreated by their masters. One by one they leave their homes and set out together. They decide to go to Bremen, known for its freedom, to live without owners and become musicians there.

On the way to Bremen, they see a lighted cottage; they look inside and see four robbers enjoying their ill-gotten gains. Standing on each other's backs, they decide to perform for the men in hope of gaining food. Their 'music' has an unanticipated effect; the men run for their lives, not knowing what the strange sound is. The animals take possession of the house, eat a good meal, and settle in for the evening.

Later that night, the robbers return and send one of their members in to investigate. It is dark and he sees the eyes of the Cat shining in the darkness. He reaches over to light his candle, thinking he sees the coals of the fire. Things happen in quick succession; the Cat swipes his face with her claws, the Dog bites him on the leg, the Donkey kicks him and the Rooster crows and chases him out the door, screaming. He tells his companions that he was beset by a horrible witch who scratched him with her long fingers (the Cat), an ogre with a knife (the Dog), a giant who had hit him with his club (the Donkey), and worst of all, the judgewho screamed in his voice from the rooftop (the Rooster). The robbers abandon the cottage to the strange creatures who have taken it, where the animals live happily for the rest of their days.
