Flea market Bonn

The most favorite event for me in summer is the annual flea market located in Bonn – Rheinaue. Right next to the river Rhein in between beautiful arranged gardens and rare trees is it always possible to find exact the most unuseful item you did not have yet but always wanted to know what it feels like to own it.

I must say the climate of flee market certainly has changed over the years, people trying to sell stuff; I would be ashamed to be seen with. Overpriced comic books, corroded tools and of course the Rollex watch for 90 bucks. Never the less, it awakes the hunter in me and after hours of looking through other people belongings you will find a thing or two that will come in handy soon. The most rewarding thing afterwards is, like in so many other German activities, the usual beer ceremony; sitting down in a beer garden nearby, eating a pretzel and drinking a beer or two.
