Day 9: Welcome to Weimar

Sadly, we had to leave Geisa.  We boarded the bus for Weimar.  We dropped our two wonderful guides off on the way.  We were having two guides from Berlin on the second half of our trip.  We also made a rest stop and a short time later, we were in Weimar.  Our new guides met us at our hotel.  We stored our luggage and then the guides decided to give us some free time because they said when we were supposed to have free time tomorrow most of the shops would be closed.  A few of us went in town and three of us broke off and had lunch.  Another lady met up with us at the restaurant.  After that, we shopped a bit.  Then two of us shopped some more and then had some gelato.  We got a bit lost going home, but eventually made it back to our hotel.  I just hung out in my room for a little while, then our group met up again to go see a music show in a local park.  It was a cool show--an orchestra performing on a stage above water so it was called Music on a Floating Stage, but it was raining so most of us left early.  I did have a delicious freshly made pretzel while at the park.  Four of us stopped for Chinese food on the way back to our hotel.

I didn't do so well with pictures today, just a sea of umbrellas from the concert and one random picture of my hotel room.  By the way, the hotels we've been staying at have been nice.
