Kegeln

.
Kegeln, is the equivalent of "ninepin", at least the British call it that. It´s not Bowling!
That reminds me of: " Life isn't all beer and skittles.", true, isn´t it? A bit sad, coming to think about it.
Cheers, got to take a swing of this great dark and malty german beer.


Ready. set ....
... go!
I had lot´s of fun, nearly all on my own. Everyone was busy chatting, eating and drinkin´ and so. While no one was watchin´ I rolled a few myself. Though this game is, I must say, for a little fella like meself, quite tricky, specally the aimin´ part of it.

Cheerio lads!

Visit to an xmas bakery, in Saxony

.
I was attracted to this place by the smell, mostly. A great waft of fresh baked bread and bakeries literally hit my nose while i was tagging along to this place. It must have been a xmas bakery, somewhere in Saxony, Germany.

Here I am sitting snuggly on the cold oven with all the freshly baked sandwich rolls, äh, Brötschen, Schrippen, Semmeln or whatever you may call em.

See, they are stored in such nice baskets, ready to be sold.

And here is the real stuff, 
yummy SELF made Dresdner Stollen style xmas bakes.

They where baked in the bakeries oven to perfection, but made at a family members home kitchen.

Look at them closely, I am sitting in a basket full of them! I tried dragging it all out but alas, no chance. I just managed to get one ready by sprinkeling powder sugar on it. I did get some help, to get it home, but I wish I had been able to take the whole basket.

I would have been a rich bear, selling it all off in far away munich, or hmm, no, I would not have been able to eat it all by myself, it would have been a huge tummy ache.

We are having some every sunday until christmas eve.
