Alisons B'day- the I am not 30 Party

Hi all I know that you are waiting for the latest installment of our adventures today.  Okay so what do girls love to do - yes shop and that is what we have done ALL DAY. There are new coats, shoes tops, jumpers and handbags.

And on the list of still need to get is a hat for Alison and 2 more tops for Karen then I think that is it.

So for dinner tonight we went to one of the best Restaurants in town the Weinner Block:
The Weisser Bock


So the chef sent out a free entree as it was Alison's b'day. followed by our own entrees (lucky we chose to share). Then we all had our own mains (all ~Germany food portions). We all tried our hardest to finish the mains, but alas were unable to do so. We waddled out of the Restaurant for one final celebration drink at the POP bar ( POP now known as Private O'Neill Party) of champagne- I mean sparkling wine. After that we have come home.


Alison has asked me all to let you know she is first in bed at 1am, so is too tired to blog on her b'day. So good night from her and good night form me.
Miss you all from here

We are in Heidelberg

Hi all ,
we arrived in Germany last night at 7pm from Denmark. My brother came and meet us at the airport. Our first experience was very un Germany like- it took for ever for our bags to turn up. We handled the issue and the fact we have missed a train by going to the bar and drinking red wine till the next train. You think this is good, we then catch the fast train- 300km per hour - takes 40mins to Heidelberg. And we do this sitting in the cafe section drinking more red wine.

We drop everything at Sean's round 10.30pm and then walk to the resturant for dinner at the Snitzelber. Two of Sean's work friends (both on loan from Spain) come to dinner with us. The meals are big and fabulous - with more red wine. We are the last to leave the resturant and head to the irish bar (but it is closed) so we go to another pub. Only 5 girls in the bar- the rest were men and most of them were taller than Alison and I.
Midnight hits and it is Alison's b'day so we clink glasses and give wishes. Finally the pub shuts and we head home where in honor of Alison's b'day we have a glass of Frangelico before bed at 2.30am. At least we didn't have to go to work like Sean.
Have a picture will up load later.
Miss you from here
