Mum's Mini Euro Road Trip - Part 1 Germany

My mum came over to visit and we went on a road trip in my Mini. Here's the first part of the trip in Germany - days 1-3.

On Sunday we went for a bike ride. It was in the middle of the city festival, so we scored some Nurnberg flags.

First day on the road trip was Munich. Here's the main glockenspiel.









The weather was cold and rainy





The English Gardens






We got to see guys surfing the river in the English Gardens. Nurnberg is the farthest place in Europe from the sea. Sweet. So to get in surfing practice you need to be more creative. Standing Wave in a concrete basin.
