Kultur

It is safe to say that me and Dottie have not neglected our cultural duties aside from trying to pass ourselves off as British tourists who verstehen nicht. Since arriving we have abused the German cuisine quite possibly to the extreme; cheese, salami, NICE bread rolls, kase kuchen/cheese cake, pflaumen kuchen/plum cake and curry wurst have all featured in our dining.

After a lazy start to the day and a difficult night’s sleep it was time to travel into town. Of course today is 20 years since Germany became reunified as a country – so it means that nowhere is open which was not helpful so thank god we stocked up on food yesterday. Bonn city centre also seemed to go back in time a bit not by 20 years but by about 2000 years as there were Romans(half naked Roman's add's Dottie) running around doing battles all sorts of Roman stuff...as you do. A man dressed in Roman clothes going to use a toilet is quite possibly one of the randomest sights that I could have encountered but then I just thought of Liverpool city centre on a night out.
Anyways back to the culture stuff. Dottie had wanted to go to see Herrn Beethoven’s house so we went on out little walk to his house which was actually open. I am lucky as have been here before with school but I think it was good for le Dot to see the house. The house is separated up between the original and then next door there is a little studio were you can go online(think Mrs Doyle here **GO ONLINE**) and listen to any of Beethoven’s music. I tell you two scousers dancing around to Beethoven’s 5th Symphony was deffo a sight and very amusing for the group of German tourists going around the house.
Tonight we will stay in and probably watch Black Books but tomorrow I think I may venture to Aldi as quite frankly drying dishes with toilet roll has only so many perks. Bis spaeter!!!
