First dinner at their fab home. Schnitzel with mash potatoes and salad. Mmm.. lekker!
Breakfast table.
On the second day, we went to the Aa (how original) River because we wanted to witness the love story between two impossible lovers.
A black swan, Petre (formerly known as Peter cos she was mistaken as a male earlier) fell in love with a white plastic swan boat! Petre swims around the swan boat 24/7 mooing and cooing, declaring her undying love, and even follows it if there are visitors pedaling it. Petre refuses to leave it even during winter, so a small bird house was built for her, although she apparently doesn't use it. And the caretakers can't just remove the swan boat cos Petre might just die of sorrow. Aaahhh.. tragic love!
Feeding the rubber duckies before visiting Petre. Steffi was the hottest source of food for them.
Pedal boats after.
Went to the Botanical Gardens after that.
My favourite desert plants. Dunno what its called, but look how cool it is, the way the 'leaves' arrange themselves to form the flowers. Awesome!
Funky doors at a church in Munster.
Second night dinner: chicken rice and chinese style cooked cabbages (by hostees (I guess that's what we're called)) and chocolate cake and papadam by the hosts. Lekker, lekker! (preps + finished output)
Muenster City Festival
Third night dinner: German-style BBQ, pasta (I miss it already!), salad, bread + spread and German beer. Lekker, lekker, lekker!
Host and hostess of the year
Yam-seng!
And to work of the stuff we put in our stomach, we went bowling and played a bit of pool. Yay! I was in 2nd place in bowling, not bad for a non-bowler, heh? The place was dark, so no pictures from my lousy camera.

Saturday: Hamburg (people there are called Hamgurgers. Cool, huh! I wanna be a hamburger too!)
Hamburg was one of the heaviest bombed places in Germany during WW2. This whole cathedral, St. Nicholas, was bombed to smittereens, except for this tower which we went up. If you look carefully, you can see the ruined parts on the walls. Poor Hamburg.
Next stop: Miniature Wonderland, where the world is shrunk to thousands and thousands of times over. Imagine the work and attention to detail, how the 'masters' sculpt every individual in this world!! *faint*
We went to the redlight district after that just to take a look and we saw this cool machine.
Just before leaving for home on Sunday, we visited dear Yimin and KK at Essen but unfortunately, I don't have any pictures with them. Need to get them from the rest.
Germany = Excellent! Signing off! Tschüß (pronounced 'choose' = bye)!!
