My 21st Weekend
To make it super special 3 of my oldest buddies, Chris, Parso and Dave, came to visit. It was a brilliant surprise to see Dave's curly locks appear through the arrivals door at Nuremberg airport as he has sent me an email only 2 days previously informing
me that he would unfortunately not be able to make it, the swine! It was really cool to see them all again and catch up. We went straight from the airport into Nuremberg where we saw a few of the sights before we sat down to enjoy some Bavarian Bier.
The boys and I enjoyed a typical German feast of bratwurst and sauer kraut at the famous 'Bratwursthauesler', washed down with a couple of mugs of 'Doppelbock Bier'. Absolutely lethal.
We staggered to a few more bars in the city centre before heading to a rather posh hotel where Dave and I randomly ordered Carp (the fish of the season) which was very boney.
We then headed back to Erlangen where Dave and I had another pint before we hit the hay for round two!
The Saturday was my birthday and I got loads of cool gifts and a lot of money from my very generous and very lovely family members (many thanks!). After a breakfast in Wheelers we had a look around Erlangen and went to the sports centre where we shot some pool and had a couple of games of bowling.
In the evening we met up with some of the other guys to have a meal in a cool little spaghetti restaraunt, it was awesome to have my old and new friends there to celebrate. Christian came down for the night from Wurzburg which was cool. After that a few of us went to the newest club in Erlangen 'Hoersaal' where we had a few shots of Jaegermeister to limber up before getting on the dance floor to bust a few moves.
I was most sad to see the boys off at the airport after an unforgettable weekend (actually with the amount of beer they bought me I am surprised I remember any of it) and I really hope they can make it back out here again before I come home.
