Yeah, I know there's already been a post titled "AACHEN" but it was kind of half arsed because I was so relaxed at the time. This one should hopefully be a bit more eye opening.
Thanks to Ali Clifton and Sophie 'die schmutzige' Walker first and foremost for keeping me entertained, and for Ali for letting me crash on your floor. Anywhere where you can eat Nutella toasties, Lion bar cereal and watch comedy at any time of day is a good place to stay in my books.
I think I may have appreciated Aachen the most out of all my recent travels, seeing as it had friends, it was back in Germany and thus a familiar language, and it felt like an actual city where things happen and I could buy things if I needed them. I bought a new pair of shoes, seeing as I literally walked through the last pair in the space of 2 months, as well as various baked goods.
One of the highlights of Aachen has to be "cocktails to go". Perhaps we appreciated these more since we'd already had a few at the last place, and had just eaten possibly one of the best dinners of our lives, but they were awesome nonetheless. And the idea is pretty novel as well. Sure, you don't feel too classy drinking a cocktail from those plastic cups with lids that smoothies are usually served in, but ohh, they were good. So good we went shopping with them.
I managed to put off going home until friday, which meant I was able to see a little Aachen nightlife, assist with DIY in Ali's flat (with relative success) and do a bit of exploring.
General streets and shopping bits
This one is from when I got lost. Having been left to explore a bit while the others enrolled at the gym, I walked in the vague direction of things that looked interesting and became very, very lost. I guess taking photos was all that I could do in such a scenario.
It rained a lot here as well.And once again, I'll finish with my favourite. Probably best to view this one full size. Check out Jesus's left hand; apparently he likes Bitburger too. Someone, somewhere, is going to hell.
