Road trip to Germany

I'm home after a 1½ week long vacation in Germany. It all was quite fun at times, even though we had serious business. I had the opportunity to take a lot of photos over the course of the trip. My family owned a house in a small town called Schweina, Thüringen. That we sold during the course of the vacation. Neatly located in the beginning mountains of Bayern the whole town is intoxicated with an old pitoresque feeling. The architecture is simply stunningly retro, 30:s style.

This is the local post office in town. Intact since... cant remember actually. But its quite old. Put it in there so you can assess what I was talking about earlier in my post-journey ramblings. Nearby there was a bar you could order some banana-splits with alcohol inside. I decided to get drunk instead of divulging in the facts a local guide was more than happy to force on unwilling bypassers.

The whole town is enclosed in a mountain pass, some residential areas stretch the slopes but the city core resides on the bottom, creating a cauldron for the sun to cook. The temperature sometimes reached 39deg, C.
After about an afternoon of beeing totally baked in the sun I decided something radical had to be done. I took shelter in some old mining tunnels opened up for the public as a guided attraction, of course i brought the camera along. I figured the strap to have molten in on my sholder by this time.
I spent the rest of the trip trying to dodge the sun and doing fun stuff, like going on trips to nearby towns and getting wasted on cheap beer. Ended up with a half poor vacation and a sunburn from hell. Can't say it didn't have its moments though...
It's really nice to be home again, you just don't realize it until you've been gone for a while.
