We decided to stay in Bamberg and explore this past weekend! Friday night we had margarita’s with some girls on post and then Saturday we slept in for a little bit before going down into Bamberg. Bamberg was a crazy busy place, fresh flower, veggies, and fruit markets everywhere. Then we met up with Cherise's friends that are in Germany for a few weeks it was fun!
Saturday night we went out to experience the Nightlife in Bamberg which would have been a lot of fun if we knew where to catch a taxi home but unfortunately we did not know so we had to ride home on the last bus at midnight. We only had time for one beer :-( but it looks like it will be a lot of fun and be another adventure to come! Needless to say the night did not go uneventful. When we got on the bus this VERY drunk man started to talk to us and was excited we were Americans. He kept attempting to talk to us but it was difficult to hear him, due to the immense amount of slurring. Cherise and I have yet to go somewhere where everything went smoothly. We were so use to the bus stopping at every stop during the day that we forgot to hit the Wagen Halt button (oopps)... Well since we didn't hit the button the bus drove right by our stop so we had to ride the bus to the next stop and had a long walk home haha! Leave it to us.. oh goodness.
On Sunday we got up early and decided to ride the bikes we are borrowing from some friends. Oh course that was still not an easy task, because my bike tire kept going flat so we went to the shoppett and filled up the tire up and decided to attempt to go across base and get some fix a flat stuff. As we stood in front of the bike section we decided to buy fix a flat, a new bike tube and a pump to have with us while we rode. We decided since the new tube was like $4 it was worth it. When we got out side we realized that neither one of us have ever changed a bike tire tube by ourselves. So we sat on the side of the street and attempted. We were doing a good job until we thought we bought the wrong size tube and then we got confused, until a gentlemen walked us to us and first laughed but then help us fix the tire! He walked us through the process!! Yah we were so proud of ourselves! After going to the commissary to get food we tracked back across Post unloaded our groceries and made lunch.
Shortly after our lunch we headed out for another bike adventure. Sandy one of our mentor teachers about this trail to go on to a neighboring town. We headed out not completely sure where to go. So we went on this rocky path through the woods. and finally got to a real path now the question was left or right. We choose left assuming it was right until we got to a spot where it look liked the trail ended so we turned around and headed back the other way. Needless to say we were right the first time. So we turned around and it was all slightly up hill. 45 mins later we arrived at the Keller and had a nice cold beer. Then we turned back and returned home! All in all we rode 10 miles on Sunday and today (Monday) I am feeling the after math my bottom HURTS! Well I hope you enjoyed this long chaotic blog!
Over Out
