Day out with Inga

Inga once more put on an amazing spread of food that served as breakfast and as we nibbled on these goodies we discussed what the plan would be today.

We made our way to the museum of German history, which only tells of the history from 1945. I guess they don’t want to relive, or have to remember the past before that. We all know what happened then. It was interesting and it did give you a slightly different perspective than what you originally walked in with. It was here also that we learnt that Bonn was once the capital of Germany that was a very interesting fact! While the museum was interesting and educational, it was the museum shops that I really loved! They had very cool, very fun bits and pieces in them; I spent a lot of time wondering about there!

We didn’t go in per say, but we did also stop to look at the architecture of the modern art museum. It was very very impressive. They have a stair case that is in the shape of an hour glass and a very funky water machine that drops water down in such a way that it makes up words as it falls. It was very entertaining!

Inga then took us up to Petersburg. A hill in Bonn that has a very impressive hotel/restaurant on it and apparently all the presidents who visit Germany go up there for conferences, meals and to stay. The view from up there is fantastic and we thoroughly enjoyed sitting out side eating the most fabulous cake and sipping our hot drinks.

The day really flew today and before we knew it we were heading back to Inga’s where we met Kora, had another drink and rest before heading back to Trier to meet Max for dinner. After this we went back to Max’s place to watch some of the IT Crowd series, which we LOVE, it was a nice evening to top off what had already been a lovely day!
