Bremen

I agree with Karen Stirk, when she stated that my description of Bremen sounded like a good setting for a thriller. What with the very old buildings, intense feeling in the air, the drunks and the out of work sitting around the edges of the buildings plus an anti Nazi demonstration in the square and a few more people waiting on their turn to demonstrate. And there were a lot of dodgy looking people (in my eyes anyway). Add to this, the noiseless trams running on the pedestrianised streets and the cyclists who seemed to be everywhere.
I am not impressed with Bremen but then we only had a quick look at the old city, as there are also beautiful parks and an interesting area with moats where the old wall stood.

The town hall, in all its splendour! The statue of Roland, who symbolises Bremen's freedom, has stood in the square since 1404.

The Town Musicians of Bremen. If you rub the front legs of the donkey, and make a wish, it will come true. I did not test this theory!

The stellplatz was in the middle of an island. We were surrounded by hundreds of small gardens with tiny houses on them. People who live in flats own these little plots of land, build a small house (one or two rooms) and use them as their summer house with garden. They are really beautiful
