Herr Mike in Deutschland

Had an awesome day yesterday at the office 'Sommerfest', a day out in the countryside! When we arrived at the Mulihof farm the weather was perfect, we could see "der Himmel der Bayern" (The heavens of Bavaria, this phrase is used when the sky is blue with wisps of white cirrus cloud).
It was so nice to get away from the stresses of the office for a day, and with Bavarian food and drink on tap it was absolutely perfect.
The farm was called 'der Mulihof' which is of course a place where 'Mulis' are kept. To use my blog as a vehicle with which to impart my new-found knowledge once more, a Muli is a cross between a horse and a donkey (Basically it is a big ass!).

After lunch we were divided into teams and set off on our 'Schnitzeljagd' (treasure hunt). I was actually disappointed to find out there was no schnitzel involved! Our hunt was a pleasant stroll through the woods if nothing else. Afterwards we were given a guided tour of the small surrounding village, though the guide's Frankonian accent (Frankonia is the area of Bavaria which I live in) was so strong he may as well have spoken Muli, I had no idea what he was saying!

Following a typical frankonian feast for dinner we were treated to a square dance lesson, given by an Austrian! I actually excelled at this as the instructions were in English! It was a really good laugh actually but quite tiring! After a good hoe down I needed a good hose down! I collpased into bed pretty late and after a day of walking, dancing and fresh air I slept like a baby.
Can't believe the weekend is here again so soon, looking forward to watching FC Nuremberg tomorrow, should be a good match against FC Bochum as Nuremberg are top of the Bundesliga at the moment. Ich freue mich darauf (I cannot wait!)!!
