frites, beer, boys and aussie icecream

I know this is crass but how small is the "Pee-pee Boy", such a shock as I had only seen him in chocolate form previously... multicoloured of course, and so to see him dressed (change of clothes according to the day) was a bit of a surprise! . Amazing that the original statue was created in 1388.

Another surprise was Australian Icecream... Really! Like Australian icecream from 10,000 miles away.. No!... but not a smile or a word of English from the rather severe stall holders.

Now the Pommes Frite of today are definitely not up to scratch with my memories of Pommes Frite of my youth... Ah well isn't that life.

And made the effort but still haven't developed a taste for beer!

But you know still had a great time!
