Today is the first day of the street Karneval! We call this Thursday Fettdonnerstag and there is always a lot happening on this day in the city. Therefore A. and I got up this morning early and had breakfast in our costumes and with sparkling wine!
Soon after that we went walking to the city. First it was a bit odd, because nobody was wearing a costume, but the closer we got to the city the more people were dressed up. I had totally forgotten, that this Thursday is a normal working day.
Anyways, when we arrived at the market square we were not allowed in. The problem was, that we had our pre-mixed drinks with us. Although they were in plastic bottles we could not take them in. I read before in the newspaper and heard in the radio that glass bottles would not be allowed, but when we came there they told us, that alcohol over 15% was also not allowed.
So we walked around the city and sat down in a park for some time. The weather was lovely and we enjoyed the sunshine. When it was 1 p.m. we went to the close by square, where another carnival club was about to start their program for the day.
We spent some time there but went home at some point. We were hungry and wanted to have a nap before going out tonight again! After all it was a super nice start into the Karneval for me! I really like this time of the year!
