This time your teens were nice and obedient to get your trust and next time they’ll have a great party 😉 #TPThursday

This is a lovely post Rachel!

Bremen is a very nice historical town with (in my opinion) an English feel but then again, i say the same thing about Heidelberg which reminds me of York lol!

I think a weekend is fine as Bremen is such a small place. However, my German in-laws live about 30 mins away in a town called Achim and Oyten. If you have a few more days, I would recommend them for the valleys, fields, lakes and horse-riding!

In reply to JD. Haha, I know! Though none of them is the type to do that. A few years ago in our next-door town, one party got so out of hand that it made international news! That happened because the girl whose birthday it was set the event on Facebook to public and shareable rather than private. Thousands showed up! That may be the party you read about...

I hope to visit Europe some day & it’s good to read about some of the “lesser-known” places like Bremen.

And as for “teens” alone…I always think of those impromptu Facebook “parties” that you get to read about in the papers the next day- lol.

In reply to budget jan. I wasn't really worried about the kids. They're all good kids. And the worst that happened was a messy kitchen! (Teenagers eat A LOT!)

I know what you mean about leaving teenagers at home. It was a great idea to be close on the first occasion – you will feel more comfortable from now on. Bremen looked like a good choice and it is nice not to have to travel very far for a couple of days. It sounds like an interesting place with the zigzags and 15th century houses turned shops.

In reply to Ruth – Tanama Tales.

Let me know when you’re headed this way! The landscape around here, and between here and Bremen, is FLAT. Fields, farms, villages, the occasional windmill or canal. That’s about it!

In reply to Catherine Sweeney. Bremen doesn't have as much to see as cities like Berlin or Koln, but it's worth a day or two!
