Technoseum and Christmas Market in Mannheim

On a cold and grey Sunday afternoon we made the 15 minute drive to Mannheim to see the technology museum there. Mannheim is not only the city where the first automobile was driven but also the first bicycle was built there 200 years ago and there was a special exhibit for that 200 year anniversary.
We had just arrived when Mia was spotted by one of her classmates and his sister. Together they checked out an old train carriage that was build in the 1880'ies in Heidelberg and is used for a short train ride in the afternoons

 T
here were also some different bikes to ride on. From historic ones to a tiny circus bile

There were also hand on experiments

After a few hours at the museum we also checked out the Christmas market in Mannheim which has more of a big city feel that the one in Heidelberg

Mia wanted to try a small ferries wheel...

 ..and also ride an old carousel whit an steam organ
