Rrright! So changing the schedule didn't avail to nothing. Damn! Well, I'll think of something else, like drawing faster or something.

In the meantime, we follow Gundula and Tiger into the Schnoor, the last remaining mediaeval part of Bremen. Typical for it are the small houses you see and alleys so narrow that anyone weighing more than fifteen stone would get stuck in them. Also, we meet Heini Holtenbeen (1835-1908), a veritable icon of Bremen. Really, he is. In the Schnoor, where he used to live is even a bronze sculpture of him. I told his actually quite fascinating story in this author's comments box, but it turned out to be such a long rant that I couldn't leave it here in good conscience. I'll try and think of somewhere else to post it for those who are interested what's behind all this.

EDIT: Having just found out what subpages are and what they are for, I proudly present to anyone interested The Story of Heini Holtenbeen.

Thanks for reading and commenting and have a nice Whitsun!
