Mainfest and Camping

Last week Steffen and I joined a few friends to visit the Mainfest which occurred down on the riverside in Frankfurt. It was fun, a bit smaller than I expected though. We went on the flying chairs 3 times (then another time when we went back with Michelle) and another ride called the break dancer which really threw you around. Steffen had to have me almost in a headlock to stop my head from moving so much. I wanted my highland cow beanie for protection.

We rode our bikes home then the next day packed up some clothes and my backpack to go camping at the lake. We took our bikes on the train then rode them to the lake which was about 20 minutes away. We really looked like travellers when Steffen had the back pack with the sleeping bags and tents joined on, it was really fun.
At the camping site we pretty much parked our tent in the middle of a group but it was the only space left. They really didn't know how to take us these 40 year olds but in the end they were louder and up later than us. Here's just some pictures from the lake.

The next day we checked out, brought some chocolate milk and croissants and went for a ride around town while we waited for the train back to Offenbach. The town was just the typical German style town. It had a MaiBaum, which would have been awesome to see all done up.
We also visited the herb garden which had a loud sheep.


I swear from outside the wall it would have sounded like we were hitting it it was so loud.
The train came and we made our way back home in time to pick Michelle up from Frankfurt. There was way too much bike riding on this day but was still fun.
