WG living in Bremen

The kids got their first taste of WG living in Bremen this weekend. WG = wohngemeinschaft = sharehousing. Though it was through rose coloured glasses as it was actually a small apartment block that is a share house so individual apartments and they weren't put on the putz plan (cleaning roster) so all fun no responsibility which I suppose is ok when you are 6, 4 and 2 years old.

Tram rides, Fanta, new people to build lego with and walk around the city with, swings inside, heading off for breakfast to another share house and leaving a trail of chalk arrows for the rest of us, Fussball table in the cellar, a cat, waking up and seeing giant green horses, being allowed to play with water in the sandpit, helping with the barbeque, a ferry ride, being a little underwhelmed by the actual size of the Bremen Town Musicians statue and going on an adventure to find an elephant for Herr Fitz will hopefully be the memories the kids will have from our weekend away. If not they can read this post.

First Impression= quiet comfortable the lounge matches my shirt, can't be bad.

Raining to hard to go out so waited (with our gear on) for the worst to pass.

Luckily there was a Fussball table in the cellar.

Yes that is Bismarck in the background.

I am never leaving Germany!

Hope they don't make us swim!

One elephant found.

One to Berlin, others home, train carriages mixed up so no idea where second class was, compact packing but still loaded up, racing up platform with kids soldiering on behind with own backpacks, no seat bookings so had to sit in the walkway for half the trip. What an adventure, nevertheless I think we were all relieved when seats became free and even more so as we pulled into our station. Thanks for having us Bremen.
