A Tripboat on the River Oker.

Meggie folds her unused brolley.
The sky became slate black and heavy rain threatened, so before our river trip, Meggie decided to buy an umbrella.   The photo shows her trying to refold it, because no sooner had she bought it, then out came the sun again in a cloudless, blue sky.  I suggested she request a refund!

The 1.5 hour trip was lovely, in a boat made for 20 people + driver.   We viewed Braunschweig's parks and beautiful houses from duck level, it was cool and fascinating.   The photo below shows some passing canoeists, and gives you some idea of how tranquil and green was the water.

The bottom photo shows the boat station and blue canoes waiting to be hired.  I have to admit that we both had fish and chips again, with a pint of beer each.   This is getting to be a habit.   Tomorrow we visit the Altstadtmuseum to see some historical films of old Braunschweig.   I'm not sure that this evening I can manage to eat another plate of fish and chips, although the beer will be no problem.
