Shannon Says...: Oh Look! We're in Germany!

So about four weeks ago, a friend of mine rang me to see how I was as it was the night before my boyfriend left for America. We got to talking about my best friend, Jean, who is currently living in Germany and how much we missed her, etc. We knew that another friend of ours was going over to visit her at the end of January so we made the impulse decision to book flights that evening. But we all decided that we wouldn't tell Jean that myself and my other friend were visiting too. She was only aware that one of us were going. So we had to keep it from her for weeks. We talk everyday so not being able to tell her about how excited I felt was so difficult! But that moment, when we walked up from behind her on the train platform, is truly something I will never forget. There were tears and then the "why didn't you tell me?" questions. It was just so amazing to be able to surprise someone you love that much.

Well we spent a total of 5 days in Hanover. It is such a beautiful city and the shopping! Oh my god the shopping. I was not prepared. The food was also delicious. My favourite day was without a doubt our last one. We went to the zoo and ice skating. We really made a day of it all. So below are a few pictures of the trip, some outfits and what I bought.
