I’ve been lucky to visit Germany a few times before, but this was my first trip to Hannover. I expected a simple industrial town like Mannheim or maybe a boring hub such as Frankfort, but I was surprised to find such a beautiful city. Look at my view from the Courtyard overlooking Lake Maschsee.

The City

Doing the “right thing” by staying up until bedtime on the first night of arrival to Europe, I went out for a bit of sightseeing and dinner.

Plenty to see in the daylight, too.

I love these historic looking Germany streets.

There was a Nazi monument near the hotel on Lake Maschsee which was a bit eerie.

Yep, I walked a LOT and my clients LOVED to walk up and down these stairs, too. I think they were trying to help me get into shape.

The Circus

I even walked over to the Roncalli Circus who was in town.

Oktoberfest

Hannover Oktoberfest started just before I left town as yet another special treat.
