Perth Mint In Braunschweig
We went to the city yesterday via Inselwall, as usual.
Nice statues, no?
Ingo´s Bro is a doc and wants to see Ingo on a regular basis to put him through his MRI.
I am very thankful for that, yet it scares me off.
He lives in Emden, some 300 km away.
I "forced" Ingo to bring some pressies along next time - after all his Bro loves cooking and has four kids.
(And, my, what would you have to pay for it at a regular doc?!)
So right at the Braunschweig Dom there is a shop that could do the job.
Could... way too expensive, but what did we see? A greeting from Perth Mint!
Totally overprized, though (and not what we were looking for anyways).
So on to the tourist info we went.
I so wanted to bring a honeycomb like this from Okerbienen to Perth, but, alas, it would never have made it in one piece.
Their motto: Braunschweig - a city that tastes good..
They certainly have honey in glasses, too. I bought one, but when we came home I had honey in my bag, so... sorry.
I also asked Australian duty, I could´ve brought it along, but... yikes. Bag... right?
Come visit us to taste it :-)
Ingo ended up with a whole box for his Bro´s family, including a book full of Mumme-recipes:
(And yes, I know it sounds like mummy... ;-)
Good enough for a "neighbour" at Schadt´s to chat with us.
Braunschweig. It´s a village after all. That mate had the book as a pressie for his Dad :-)

Oh wow, that would have been a surprise to see Iris. You went to the mint when you were here didn't you? It's a lovely idea to get Ingo's brother a pressie.
Yes, Grace, we got my Bro gold there cause he refuses to take any money for all the glasses he makes plus he is a goldsmith, too :-)
And also Ingo´s Bro refuses to take money.
Lille Bros, eh?
Fancy seeing something from Perth Mint in Braunschweig, how interesting!
You can't bring honey to Australia, you can't even order anything with honey from the Eastern states, can you believe it? The bees are being decimated with sicknesses not normal in WA, so they have to be protected.
Really?! Customs duty said I could bring in honey! Shoot, it´s really weird.
Yes, for you it must be extra special, having (had) a home in both cities!
