Buergerfest in Regensburg!

Whoa - this weekend we had quite some action in downtown Regensburg.
It was the annual Buergerfest (citizens festival), with music, shops and beer available all through downtown.

Saturday was fairly entertaining to watch from our window. The weather was a bit flaky, and every hour the sky just opened up and drenched the people coming from the parking lot. I knew another downpour started whenever I heard squealing from the street...

Sunday was much nicer, the weather playing along, and thousands of people coming out. It was absolutely perfect (except that the missus was missing).
I'm looking forward to a few more festivals this summer.

Here's a few shots...

Hot Air Balloon Over Regensburg

Every once in a while we see hot air balloons drifting slowly over Regensburg. Last weekend I saw one again - and got the idea for a perfect wedding gift for some friends...



...and guess what my wife wants to do now... :-)

Cheers, Matthias
