We ventured out again yesterday evening but this time instead of going through the forest, we took a more direct route into the city. Our mission was to buy a Magic Set for Little L. It took us about 20 minutes and that was just because we were cruising at a casual speed. By cutting through the side streets, a high school and a few car parks, we only had to stop at two pedestrian crossings to cross.
And then it led us to the Water Tower which apparently has a Youth Café built inside. And this is where we stopped to take a few pictures of us and our surroundings.
Earlier this year they finished building the theatre. [Click here to view the interior photo gallery].
It's a place for small scale concerts, musicals, dance productions and dramas. It's so much more modern than the other buildings in this town, that it sticks out like a sore thumb. It kinda reminds me of a glass pig with a section hanging out as its' snout.
One of these days we want to check it out, maybe even check out a play.
Within a few short minutes we arrived at Karstadt and parked our bikes right at the front entrance. I loved the fact that we didn't have to look for parking and buy a ticket, as we would have done had we driven by car.
Although i could do without the bruised crotch, thanks very much.

So J bought a few presents for Little L; a magic set and two Nintendo DS games that were 70% off!
J also managed to find me a fitted black puffy vest lined with fleece. And because i'm not exactly the biggest 30-year old out there, i managed to fit in a children size 152. Which means i didn't have to pay for an adult size and it only cost me one cent short of 9 Euros.
Being small compared to the average European does pay off after all.
Our next stop was Das Weinhaus. The shop itself is set up in a traditional house built in the 1800s and has various decoration pieces to add to the nostalgia of the place. J needed to order some wine for an event his company is having next week.
So whilst he tried a few sips of wines, i got to try some too.
I then ended up having a particular liking towards one particular white sparkling wine. I'm not much of a wine drinker but that stuff tastes good. And so J mentions to the owner that i liked rosé and whether he could recommend one. We soon find out the sparkling wine that i had liked also came in a rosé.
And then he hands us a bottle of GRAND C Brut Rosé... for free!
I just did a price check and it comes up to nearly 18 Euros a bottle. And compared to the regular supermarket kind that we would normally buy, the GRAND C we were given was about three times the price.
And so we're saving it for our anniversary next week.
