Day Trip to Bremen

Day Trip To Bremen (Diwali Edition)

This Diwali, my mother and brother flew in all the way from the homeland India to celebrate the festival. We decided to go to Bremen, the small German town 3 hours away by Bus from Groningen.

The day started at 5 AM where we got ready and took the Flixbus at 7 AM to Bremen. We saw the sunrise through the bus window as we drove passed windmills, cows, open green fields and trees changing colors to welcome the autumn season.

Upon reaching we followed signs near the main station to lead us to the tourist information desk only to be walking around the same block thrice without realising the office was right there. We got our maps and magnets as souvenirs and the German journey began.

We made several pitstops to eat crepes and specialty coffee and swirled potatoes that were essentially fries, and of course the infamous Ginger Cookies. We walked around the town square, went inside the St. Petri Dom church, did a little shopping in the medieval center Schnoor with the narrowest alleys. We also went to a 600 year old wine cellar which is now deemed a UNESCO heritage site converted into a restuarant.

Until next time,

Samudraki.

The day was filled with marvels of the German culture and to see what we did check out my video below!
