Badenfahrt, part 2

Well that's another arduous weekend over and done with. On Saturday night we went to Badenfahrt again, and personally I enjoyed it far more the second time around. We met up with a couple of Reto's friends and we ate delicious sushi at a Japanese restaurant (and I had sake for the first time ever, so that was a novelty), we saw some excellent wacky band in a tiny bar by the river (and we even found seats, albeit seats that involved perching on a splintery plank of wood on a slightly muddy hillside, but that really added to the charm rather than detracting from it), and we watched the totally excellent fireworks display that they let off at midnight from the ruined somethingorother (castle? fort?) on the hill in the middle of town. We saw the fireworks from a place that was basically right next to where they were being let off from, which meant you really had to look straight up in the air to see them which provided an excellent and unusal perspective but also gave everyone a sore neck. And it also meant that all the hot ashy residue of the fireworks tended to fall into our eyes, but I suppose there is always a price.
