On the 5thday of our trip, Dennis took us to Bremerhaven. Our first stop was the Emigration and Immigration Museum. It turns out Bremerhaven is where many Europeans emigrated out of Europe and many arrived in the US via Ellis Island. There are records there from the 1600s through the late 1900s. When we bought our tickets, you were assigned a person to follow. My person was a lady named Margret and she was born in the 1820s. She didn’t emigrate to the US until she was in her late 20s. There were stations all through the museum where you could find out more information about her. We each had a different person. The museum had exhibits that depicted the different time periods and all the people would have had to endure on their trip. I ... read more

C'est dimanche... On se promène à pied et on laisse Pollux se reposer ! Nous voici dans les environs de Brême… C’est ainsi que nous prenons le bus devant le camping qui nous mènera jusqu’à l’Université et de là le tram pour la ville… Sueur froide, a l’arrêt du bus à l’Université, nous trouvons bien l’horaire pour aller en ville, mais nous voyons que le dimanche ce bus ne circule pas pour revenir… Nous prévoyons donc un arrêt à l’office du tourisme pour qu’il éclaire notre lanterne !!! Nous étions déjà venus à Brême lors du voyage du Cap Nord… mais nous n’avions fait qu’une brève visite car toute une journée de pluie nous empoisonnait… Aujourd’hui grand soleil… certes un peu froid mais dans la rue il y a de l’ambiance et surtout sur la place ... read more

Nachdem wieder eine Woche in Niedersachsen zu Ende gegangen ist, bin ich am Samstag nach Bremen gefahren. Dort war ich schon ein paar Mal, aber nicht so oft, wie zum Beispiel in Hamburg. Zuletzt war ich dort zu einem Workshop im Jahr 2010. Allerdings habe ich bei der Planung des Besuches vergessen, dass an dem Tag wegen der Osterferien ein starker Reiseverkehr war. Aber das habe ich überlebt. Mein Parkhaus habe ich dann gut gefunden und bin zum Markt und zum Rathaus und habe ich einem dort befindlichen Starbucks eine Kaffeepause eingelegt. Bei dieser Stadt gibt es im Gegensatz zu den letzten Ausflugszielen eben Starbucks und auch Karstadt Lebensmittelabteilung, wo ich auch etwas gekauft habe. Vorher war ich noch in der Böttchergasse, die aber nicht so historisch aussieht, wie man denken sollte. Auf der Rückfahrt waren ... read more

Our 9 day cruise started in Newcastle. This was on the good ship Balmoral with Fred Olsen Cruise Lines. Our first port of call was Bremen after a calm and pleasant North Sea crossing. Bremen is a lovely city. The centre was spacious for pedestrians with large open squares and there were many fine old buildings to admire. There was a local beer festival and a fair in Bremen Market Place when we visited. We had a good walk around the centre to see all the old buildings. The Roland statue in the Market Place dates from 1404 and Bremen Rathaus (old town hall) is 600 years old. St Peter's Cathedral dates back to the 13th century. Afterwards we continued our exploration with a walk around the Schnoor quarter, the oldest part of Bremen with ancient ... read more

We took a train trip Amsterdam to Bremen with one train change. We suffered the first hour in carriage non-working air conditioning then along came this lovely assistant offering to transfer us to the next carriage - aah the bliss of cool air and random acts of kindness. Our hotel is just across the tram tracks from the railway station. Lovely room (with air conditioning this time). There was actually a splash of rain too although it didn’t really cool things down. The heat didn’t prevent us from exploring the many attractions of Bremen. To the west of the town hall stands the most famous representation of the Bremen Town Musicians, the bronze sculpture created in 1951 by the artist Gerhard Marcks. The old town is filled with history and fairytale magic being the place of ... read more

Friday It seems a little strange to be heading north in the UK when our ferry leaves from Dover on Sunday, but we have a the pleasure of attending Nikita and Ed's wedding at Handforth tomorrow. We stopped off at Buxton for a flying visit to two of our daughters before heading to our pub camper stop in Adlington, the Miners Arms, an excellent country pub close to the Middlewood way, so Logan was pleased with his lovely walk in the sunshine along this old railway line. The pub food and beer was very good, and the locals friendly. SaturdayWe woke to the birds singing and another lovely sunny day. After breakfast we drove to the Church to the wedding, Nikita, life long friend of Polly's, looked beautiful and elegant, everyone had a lovely time, we ... read more

As is almost a tradition, I once again returned to Bremen this winter for a good old catch up with my besties in Germany. Having only got back from Israel around 2½ weeks earlier, and almost exactly repeating the trip from 2012, I flew out on a Thursday afternoon from Stansted and returned on the Monday night - However this time as I was working, I did a half day in the morning, before driving and parking at the airport, catching my flight and arriving in Bremen in time to join Elena's preparty before the international day party took place in the city. Having arrived less than half an hour before, at the pre party I was already fondly reminded of how fun the Erasmus experience was, being able to catch up with my good friends, ... read more
