Weimar Day 2.2

After wandering the cemetery we headed back through town, got a baumstriezel for a snack (it was giant! Like twice the size of normal! But also thinner dough so maybe not twice as much to eat!). As we sat and ate it there was nice music playing (Raymond said Vivaldi the four seasons) and I thought it was the market or a store or something playing it on a speaker, but then I looked over and it was these two people playing it! A lady with a violin and a guy with what looked like a normal accordion, but he also blew into tubes at the top sometimes. I don’t know what that was, but they were so so so good! I was shocked it was actually people playing because it sounded so professional! So I had to give them a few euros.

The yellow house in the photos was Schiller’s birth house. Then the ones after that are all from the park an der Ilm which was really nice to wander through! Lots of the statues were covered up for winter, but there was still plenty to see!

The place after the ruins was the summer home of duke Carl August and the top part had those columns, then you could walk down and around to the bottom part with a walkway that was pretty fancy! The Pegasus was the ceiling of that part and it was up on a hill so nice views over there park. There is also an oval building with tree bark on the outside - apparently he has confidential meetings in there.Læs mere
