So we did the touristy thing and rubbed the shiny donkey’s front hooves for good luck. We had nothing major planned to look at in the town, so we wandered about for a while doing some window shopping. It was sometime around this point that we discovered Bremen’s free gymanstics program.
That metal strip is the slipperiest substance in existence and I discovered this by almost doing the splits right in the main street. Ouch. Of course, this meant for the rest of the day I was perfectly justified in almost wetting myself laughing when I saw others do the same.
