Offenburg, Germany


i guess im definitely a country boy, because i have the best time whenever im in the country...

took a slowass train yesterday (i cant afford ICE) from frankfurt to here in Offenburg and was immediately charmed by the surrounding. It felt even better when i saw Dominik waiting for me in the station, he´s like one of my closest german mates back when we were in NZ, we had so much fun together back then.

he took me on a ride and we cruised along his farm, educating me along the way on farming, i learned how to make apple cider and wine, and also about harvesting maize, apple, potato and grape.

as he is staying only 10 minutes away from the french border, he amazed me by driving over the river Rhine to Strasbourg where we visited the legendary cathedral there. and just like that, i crossover from germany to france and back in a matter of two hours.

at night, we went to the weinfest (wine fest) and tried so many different varieties that gave me a major hangover this morning.

Weather has changed from shit to perfection today, so we will visit some castles and the infamous Black Forest later...

i love the country...
