Jens & Maggi, my hosts for the weekend in Hanover
The Marienburg castle in the forests near Hanover
A 19th-century fantasy castle
Cute inner courtyard
A monkey-puzzle tree, just like the one in our front garden when I was a kid
Sticky cones
We take another walk in the forest, this time with Bubble
A tower in the middle of the forest
Jens & I enjoy the hazy view from atop the tower
A narrow staircase back to ground level
Hanoverians like bizarre advertising, as can be seen from the back of this bus
I show off my newly-acquired $5 porn star shades
The Maschseefest, a beer festival on the banks of Hanover's lake
Getting stuck in to some German food & beers
The sun sets, the evening starts
Lütje Lage: shots of a special strong beer with shots of schnapps
Holger shows me how it's done
I'm a quick learner!
