Day With Yvonne And Lamont

Had an awesome day seeing one of my favorite people after 15 years. The last time I lived here in Flensburg was 20 years ago when we met.

Was also great to meet Yvonne's partner Lamont. For dinner we tried Indian food buffet. She hadn't had Indian before but is traveling to Sri Lanka soon and we thought it might be similar?

Tomorrow night we hit up maybe Denmark and then the bars.

Delicious Bakeries - Klosterbäckerei

One thing that Germany is definitely good for is delicious Bakeries full of amazing breads and desserts.

The mandelhörnchen at Klosterbäckerei on Matildestrasse were unbelievable. They are some sort of almond flour with a chewiness thats like merengue cookie. Then covered in toasted almost slices and then ends dipped in chocolate. I ate two of those, a cappuccino and a cucumber and Bree cheese on whole grain bread for breakfast. The prices were insanely cheap.

Day Time Meets Night

It's light out till about 11pm. During the twilight time it's dark out everywhere because there is no direct sun but the sky still stays light. Then the sun comes up some time around 4am.

I haven't seen this monument in daylight but its a massive lion in a cemetery and looks cool at night against the lit up sky.

Vegetarian Meat At Reformhaus Flensburg

There must have been 50 sorts of vegetarian meat at the health food store. Even things like immitation liverwurst and kielbasa. That and lots of vegan cheeses. Where were all these things when I was vegan.

Vegetarian Food In Flensburg

It's amazing the amount of vegetarian options they have here.

At this restaurant called Cafe Central that we went to last night in Flensburg - (e:terry) at a soja schnitzel mit zigeunersoßa (soy schnitzel with gypsy sauce) which looked and had a very similar consistency to a real schnitzel. (e:joe) had a chilli burger and I had a carrot and mustard burger with pickles. Both came with salad. This wasn't even a vegetarian restaurant, just one with veggie options which is pretty amazing.

Apartment In Flensburg

We arrived at our apartment in Flensburg. It's amazing. (e:joe) did a great job finding it. We are paying about $90 a day for a huge apartment in an amazing building. The picture is the building across from us out the dining room window but they are similar.

It has a dining room, living room, kitchen and two bedrooms.

Essentially, it's better than a hotel and cheaper.

Hamburg Layover

We were only in Hamburg for an hour waiting for our train to Hamburg. There was an overwhelming amount of stuff to see around the train station so we ran around real fast. I wish we had more time.

I can't believe how cheap the train ride was from Hamburg to Flensburg. If I lived here again I would go there all the time. It seriously only cost $40 altogether for all three of us to ride the train for 1.5 hours. Imagine if there was a $12 train from Buffalo to Toronto.

In Zürich

The Zürich airport was the fanciest I have been in. They had the most amazing stuff. It's like being in only the fancy part of the fanciest mall.

We just ate our snacks that we won in Toronto as we waited for the next plane after the first plane was delayed.

Toronto Airport

Om Wednesday we started our trip in Toronto, Canada. It was a flight to Zürich, Switzerland. The airport there has lots of great food choices. I had an Asian chopped salad with chicken skewers. (e:joe) and (e:terry) ate at an Indian restaurant.

Afterwards we played these casino games on iPads they had at the table. The weird part is you out in no money but you could win a lot of real world prizes that they delivered to your table.

I am not sure if we were just waiting a long time or what but we won so much shit. We also entered into a lot of contests for winning gift cards later so we will see.

Everytime you crashed out they would ask you a math question and then deliver the winnings to your table. It's unreal how much stuff we won, the picture isn't even all of it.
