This blog will document the year of travel and work that comes my way in 2013. I am VERY excited and cannot wait to see how many stamps I can get in my passport (imagine Felipe from 'Eat, Pray, Love' saying this, scene at the market). Bring it on!

Big kid in a candy store!
I had a great day out in Bonn today. I really like this city. Easy to get around, cool shops and a great vibe. It used to be the capital of Germany after the war so that's why it has such a great transport system, a system which normally wouldn't be put in such a small city.
The main outings of the day were the Haribo Factory and the Koenig Museum but on the way I had a good tour of the city centre and here are a few things I found;
Market place with the town hall in the background
Zara's home? I wish!
Bonn University
We finally got to the Haribo Factory and I didn't quite no what to do with myself, I was surrounded by so many lollies I didn't know where to start! My nana would love this place!
So many sweets!
I couldn't choose which bags to buy so opted for the pick'n'mix option but I still found that hard.
Snapped!
Colour coded lollies, wonderful! No yellow ones for me!
While browsing the shelves I even found some for my brother :)
Hehe Panda lollies!
It was crazy to see people with shopping trolleys full of bags and bags and even boxes of lollies because it was so cheap and they are the BEST lollies! I got a bag full for only 5euros. It was great! I'll admit that my tummy aches a bit right now but they were just so good!
Bargain!
The Koenig Museum was our next stop and that's the zoology museum of Bonn. They had lots of animals there I'd never seen before and a whole lot of skeletons. I even saw a set of moa bones and a little brown kiwi. It was great to see so many young kids running around the museum and looking at all the exhibits, I could see my little cousins having a ball in there.
Not so scared of an orca skull as an actual orca...
Moa!
Another kiwi in Germany :)
I liked this one
We've just been trying to figure out what it's called when you stuff animals and found this while looking online, I thought it was pretty funny (and odd) so will include it. Maybe he helped out the Koenig Museum...? The animals did look very real.
Tonight we're off to dinner with Arthur's dad and to meet some of Arthur's school friends so it should be a fun night :)
