Germany and Koninginnedag/nacht

This last week, has been NICE!:) Saturday a week ago, I joined Anna to her hometown Crailsheim in the south of Germany.

We visited a town called Heidelberg. It has this really old, cosy town with a big castle.

But the real reason for visiting Heidelberg was to go to the "body worlds" exhibition. It's actually real bodies, which they've "opened" in order for people to see actually how amazing the human body is.. The exhibition is really controversial and quite confronting! It was not allowed to take pictures, but google "Bodyworlds", then you can see some pictures..
It was a great opportunity for me to repeat my anatomy though:)

one more "dressed" than the other....

Anna and I in Stuttgart :)

And of course we had to visit the German "Beer tent festival".... Can't get more German than that I guess... It's a huge amusement park, and then with a couple of "beer tents" where people are dancing like crazy on the tables to live music-Funny!

Wednesday evening we were back in Groningen again, ready for the "Koninginnenacht" (Queensnight). It's abig pary in town, with bands and lots of people!

The next day it was the Koninginnedag (Queensday) which is also celebrated really big. The day started really nice, the Dutch flag raised to the top of the pole, beautiful weather and happy people, but because of the tragedy in Apeldoorn; http://www.vgtv.no/?id=22245
the armosphere in town changed abit, the flags around town where lowered to only half way up, and the activities stopped earlier than planned...
Crazy what one man can do!!
