I decided I needed another day in Oldenburg. I’m tired (ie. pissweak) and there is more to see.

Slept well last night (the beer helped?) and really didn’t want to get up, but I just can’t let a “free” breakfast go unattended.. mmm jaffa pocket cereal, fruit bread, meat and cheese, nutella.. mmm..

Roll down the street about 50m before it starts to rain. I’m cursed. Smile and it might go away, right?

Took some photos of stuff. I cant upload them from here though.

Germans like painting their buildings. I don’t mean with Mission Brown, I mean full-on mural artwork!

Visited the “Landesmuseum fur Kunst and Kulturgeschichte” which was pretty good. Nothing super famous. Was featuring Carl Spitzweg’s paintings – I’ve never heard of him but some pieces some were quite good. The museum also had an exhibit of “Paper Theatre”. Imagine a scaled-down theatre but all the actors, props and backgrounds are painted paper that people move around from outside the box they’re contained in. Also some cool modern (50’s onwards I think) photos from a French guy (Willy something?), weapons and other artefacts like clothing, the usual religious stuff, coins, cups. The building itself (once a “schloss” – castle) is a funny yellow on the outside and quite impressive inside with large chandoliers, funky woodwork, squeaky floorboards and that musty “built before you were around buckeroo!” smell. Not TOO big and only 3euro.

Tried a “Mezzo Mix”. It’s a softdrink – Coke mixed with Fanta!!

Imbiss (small cafe) for the German take on a doner kebab. Tried various beers here. You can buy a 700ml bottle of Bacardi here for 10euro 🙂
