Gilbert - A Trip to Germany: Korn und Hanse Markt (part 1)

 

On Saturday (September 11) we went back to Haselünne for the actual Grain and Hanse Market.

There were lots of cool things to see, like this Ferris wheel.

There was yummy bread and lots more tasty treats.

There were also games to play and my owner tried two. She won me colorful rock and a small bottle of hazelnut liquor.

There was a traveling museum as well. It showed old fashioned crafts.


Wow! 1000 liter? That is a lot of booze!
It was used to make brandy I think.

An army camp!

They even brought their cannon.

This guy had lots of wine and other booze. He gave them cool names like sleep elixer, friendship elixer, and more. I got to try the walnut honey wine/sleep elixer, and it was super tasty! We bought a bottle to take home.

I'm not sure what this was. There was a machine doing... stuff, and a wooden sea dragon chilling on the fence next to it. 

I spotted an old building.

Looks like it might have been a church, but now it housed an underground parking garage.

There were waterspout gargoyles next to the building.

This one was eating an apple.


Next: more of the market and Meppen.
