Blaues Wunder sneak peek

Elbe's beautiful riverbank.

Blaues Wunder.

Blaues Wunder.

When I went to Universitätsklinikum I remebered I needed to schedule another appointment, but somewhere else. It was close, so I took a tram and went. When I got to the clinic, the doctor also had prolonged the holiday!

But I realized I was really close to the Blaues Wunder, so I decided to go there.

The pictures aren't very good because I took them with my phone and it was raining and dark. When I go back, I'll take better pictures.

Look at the Elbe riverbank, it's so large and beautiful!

I managed to take a picture of a white tree, like I promised to try when I talked about them. I thought this restaurant was really nice to go on a beutiful day, so I took a picture of it to show R and later realized the tree was there. It is already turning green, but you can still have a good idea of how white they get.

I knew this street sign would interest many people, so I decided to add this picture (hehe). I didn't go check the wine street because it was starting to rain even more. When I go back, I'll come here and tell you what it's like.

Frohe Ostern!

 

Neighbor's garden decorated for Easter.

Cookie and the Easter tree.

Many houses are decorated like this for Easter. Some trees are made of dry branches, like our mother made them when we were children.

The stores are decorated and various "regular" things are Easter themed, from mugs to masking tape and other stationery items. There are small booths in the middle of the stores where they put these objects and announce them as Easter gift suggestions.

In Brazil, we have big chocolate eggs that come with other things inside (usually candy but could be a small toy). Here, there are no big eggs. Only chocolate rabbits, smaller eggs, baskets and even cooked eggs decorated with paint. It's very different! I must confess it took me a while to realize it was Easter without the eggs everywhere in the supermarket. On the other hand, Easter is everywhere here and it's really beautiful.

Also, it is a holiday from Friday until Monday. Yay!

What did you think of my little model? Super cute close to the eggs, isn't she?

How is Easter celebrated where you live? Huge chocolate eggs at the grocery store or all around?

Happy Easter!

Royal Palace

The Royal Palace is located opposite to the Zwinger. It has really beautiful architecture!

Walking around Bruhl's Terrace at night.

Zwinger

I found the Zwinger during a walk in search for one of the Christmas markets (that I still haven't found!).

It is so beautiful I went back during the weekend so that R could see it too.
