Bonn is just near Bruehl. The architecture here was very pretty here, very pretty churches, and again was super supportive to the arts. It was a buzzing city, pretty busy and a good sized city. There was a lot of markets and shopping to do. We saw the university building, which looks like a giant mansion. we got sandwiches from a bakery for just 1.20 euros.
We also went to the Haribou factory
store. Haribou is the gummy candy
producer. SO MUCH CANDY! There were the
different flavor gummies all separated, and you could buy any assortment you
want by the KG. I literally have never seen
so many gummies in one place. Yum! I bought enough to last me the whole trip as
snacks… and then some.
it was the temporary capital of west Germany when the country was separate. Because of this, there are tons of government buildings and museums to show the history. We walked down the Museum Mile. We spent a lot of time in the German History Museum! This place was huge and exhibited history post World War II, the New Germany. It was very well organized and displayed, and I was still able to follow along and understand the museum without knowing German. There were enough English panels and images or artwork that is language barrier resistant, which is nice. it was super interesting, I saw part of the Berlin wall, a huge Hippie dedication, (Obviously not actually dedicated to the hippies, but it was totally trippy and from the era, they had the beatle playing and rainbows painted with a campervan on display……) and I heard Kennedy speak a phrase in German! We grabbed some crepes from a stand at the station before heading back to get dinner, Das is gut! – or that is good J
