Heatwave in Germany

Our last 4 days in Germany were very hot, averaging about 35 degrees every day.  What better way to beat the heat than by going in the pool and having fun in the water. Sebastian also had so much fun playing with the garden hose, especially when it broke and wet everyone!
And the last picture of Germany is a beautiful sunset taken at about 9.30pm. Just gorgeous.

Hannah's Birthday in Germany

Our little girl turned ONE!  We had a party at Oma and Opas house and invited some family and friends over to celebrate.  Hannah had such a great time and Sebastian loved playing with the other kids and eating all the sweets.

Road Trips in Germany

We spent most of our time with family and friends in Neubrunn but we did venture out every now and then to visit some places nearby.

We visited Wuerzburg a few times. They had an Africa festival on where Sebastian played with a lot of drums. We also went there with a friend and his children to play in the playground.  We then enjoyed having dinner in the nearby beer garden which also had a playground in it. 
 
We wanted to visit the castle in Wertheim, but we couldn't find the entrance and then ran out of time.  Uwe did enjoy a beer while we were there.
Rothenburg is one of my favourite places to visit when we come to Germany. They have a wall surrounding the city which you can walk on and get great views of the city.  They also have a Christmas shop open every day of the year.

I've never visited Frankfurt (except seeing the airport) so we took a trip up there.  We mostly visited the shops but we did see Roemer which is the main square of Frankfurt.  While we were having lunch there, Sebastian was fascinated with the mimes standing in the square.  He had to go over and put money in their hats and have his photo taken.  Luckily there weren't too many of them.
