German winters tend to be grey and depressing, but once the sun comes out and the weather warms up, the Germans really know how to live it up with outdoor activities, from festivals to Biergartens. Last night, I participated in one these outdoor activities as I dined on sausages and beer while traveling on a boat up the Neckar River.

A friend and coworker had organized the event with the Stuttgart Partyfloss for about 20 of us. We met at the Wilhelma U-bahn stop, and from there walked down to the pier to board the boat. For 29,90€ we enjoyed unlimited sausages and beer (quite a deal!) as we took in the river scenery.
