Knabenschiessen Carnival

Saturday and Sunday of Knabenschiessen weekend was mostly wet, so when Monday looked dry we decided to go check out the carnival.  On the way there we stopped at Nimmi's restaurant in Kreis 5 for some yummy Indian and Sri Lankan food.  We'll definitely be returning.

I think a lot of people had the same idea as us -- get outside after a rainy weekend.  There were carnival rides, food booths, and game booths.

A view of the carnival as we entered.


The roller coaster, which was a train going up into the Alps.  ZDG and LGG rode on the bumper cars, the roller coaster, went through the fun house (twice) and the big ferris wheel.



Instead of caramel covered apples, there are chocolate covered apples.  Later on we tried some magenbrot, the traditional carnival treat, but we weren't that impressed.  It's chunks of gingerbread-type bread coated with an icing.  Maybe we didn't pick that good of a booth to get it from.

Oh, yeah there was some sort of shooting event going on (I think it was over by Monday).  Here is a view of the fields from the ferris wheel.
