Dankeschoen Bremerhaven :)

So Thursday night crazy Lainey and I stayed up all night long, and took two buses at 2:00am to get to our shuttle bus to the airport. We got to the airport as early as they told us to, only to find out that the airport services that we needed were not even open yet, and would not open for at least another hour. We were sleep deprived and dying. Eventually we got on our flight and got a little nap on our way to Germany.

Lainey's sister Natalia and her nephew Ramon picked us up from the airport and drove us to her sister Jessica's house.

Here is her cute backyard:

We had a delicious vegan breakfast while Lainey and her sisters did some catching up. I don't speak German, but they were all very nice in trying to remember to speak English to me haha After breakfast we got some much needed sleep. Awake and revived Lainey and I went to her sister Natalia's house where we would be staying. There were kitties :) :) :)

All of the houses are so cute:

And there are woods not too far off:

We went to the Sea City hotel that is modeled after the ship sail hotel in Dubai to go up top and take a look.

At dinner that night I was introduced to Vita Maltz.

Its a ridiculously sugary drink that I guess is for little kids. It is delicious though. The next day we went to Bad 1. I saw the name and started laughing. I soon found out that bad translates to bath in German.

There were different pools and things inside. One pool you entered indoors then went through a tunnel outside. The pool was heated so you stayed warm, but you got the beauty of the wooded area outside. The other pool that we spent most of our time in was the experience pool, that had chairs with massage jets, and crazy waves section waterfalls that massage your shoulders, and a giant swimming area in the middle. We also went in the steam room, but didn't stay too long because we are big babies.

This is the church Lainey was baptised in. Its a very pretty church.

The entire town is based around the harbor so it all felt very nautical, which I love.

Then we played with the kitties some more :)

We went to a very smelly ashtray of a bar, then quickly left. We ventured out to another bar that was nice, but empty. Eventually we ended up at a very silly dance club, since it was Lainey's nephews birthday.

The next day we went out to Lainey's grandparents house. They live out in the country where it is crazy beautiful. We stopped to say hello to some cows.

Her whole family was very nice, and tried hard to still include me eventhough we had such a language barrier. Later on we went to a really nice park that had a really creepy windmill.

It also had an Alice in Wonderland rose garden.

I loved Germany and wish that I could have stayed longer. I plan on learning how to speak German and going back someday. Lainey and I just barely made our plane back to London running out to the plane so as not to be left behind.
