Yeah, that stupid, brainless, idiotic blogger forgot to remove the camera's memory card from her laptop.
The camera does not have an internal memory, and we had both left our mobile phones at home. So no photos of the only city tour we ever made after having lived here for more than seven years. A tour that costs 20€ per person. No photos of the only time we ever crossed the "bridge of fear" ( as we call it).
Man, we had luxury seats in the front row of the uper deck of a double decker. BAWL!
I was devastated for a few minutes, but then decided to let go and simply enjoy the day with my sweeto.
This is a photo of the map of the tour we made:
You can see the bridge in the lower left corner. There were so many great new things to discover and so many amazing photo opportunities. Bawl again!
By the way, we did not pay for the tour as we still had a 50€ tourist voucher from our electricity provider. We spent the remaining 10€ for an umbrella. You can never have enough of those in this rainy city!
Anyway, back in April on our first anniversary we hung a love lock. You can read more about it here and here. During the city tour we noticed that the bridge railing had been removed. I know i'm repeating myself, but whaaaat???
Our lock, what happend to our lock??? I did a quick research and it turned out that the railing needs to be restored and all the locks have been...wait for it....not been thrown away but been given to a museum!
A museum!! How fab is that??? You can read more about it in this article. It is written is in german, but it basically says that all the locks will be displayed in the museum's foyer during the month of September to give the owners the chance to collect their lock. I think this is such a nice gesture.
So, that's what we did in September. Collect our lock.
The museum had put together a really sweet program for all the lock-owners, with artists and a variety of tours. We decided to join the "fan" group and learned how handheld fans were used as a non-verbal kind of communication in the past centuries.
Here are a few impressions from the day we picked up our lock and a wonderful evening at the museum:

So, the lock is back home with us now. Can you guess what we are going to do with it on our 2nd anniversary? :)
