We first decided to go to the Museum because we had skipped it last time in favour of exploring the rest of the place before moving on. However......you know what I'm going to say don't you? Yes, it was closed. No, it wasn't Monday, it was Friday - but there was a sign on the door saying it was closed on Friday and Saturday. Hey ho. We're kind of used to this happening now....!
We continued exploring the streets of the town, including walking along the historic walls which was quite fun. Very narrow and higgledy-piggledy! After this, we discovered that I seemed to be going through a very clumsy phase. First off in one shop I went to pick up a painted metal Christmas decoration and cause the entire display to topple over. Fortunately it wasn't that big and nobody saw me do it, but when Mathew went in a second time later on he noticed that the display was back up again. Then I picked one up and accidently flung it underneath a small table, but could we find it? No. Mathew tried to prevent me from touching any more items in the shop but I was genuinely trying to choose one - which I did, without incident! Later on, we had lunch which we bought from the same bakery as last time. We had a mini pizza which was surprisingly filling, plus a mini-schneeball each. I had bought us a bottle of sprite each, and I had knocked mine over (unopened) but I thought I had let it rest for long enough before I opened it. But no. It fizzed and overflowed all over me, but fortunately I didn't lose much from the bottle, it was mostly bubbles / foam. And also fortunately for both of us, this seemed to be the last of my clumsy moments today......!!
Back in the main shopping area, Mathew had been eyeing up a print in an art shop and decided to go in a second time, as we had popped in briefly about 2 or 3 hours before, having left to think about it. She shop owner remembered us and thanked us for returning. Whilst she was talking to herself and moving a few things around in the shop, Mathew decided on which he was going to buy and brought it to the counter. The (very knowledgeable) shop owner told us more about the print before wrapping it to protect it for when we fly back home. In the meantime, she offered us some Sherry while we waited! Well, that was unexpected....! We politely declined though, as I don't really drink and Mathew was driving.
As we were having great difficulty finding souvinirs for people, we decided on the obvious thing: The Christmas Shop. As a result, we bought a Christmas decoration for everyone. At least they're going to be used once a year :)
Onward to the Schneeballs and we bought a box of 8 for us, and 4 for my brother. Souvenirs sorted, we returned to the car and left for our last night in Germany.
