The Story of eines Traubenzuckers

Once upon a time there was ein Traubenzucker (grape sugar). Kolo and me went trekking to Spain and we needed some backup energy, therefore Kolo bought this sugar. Since we didn't eat it in Spain, Kolo brought it to our next trip to Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Finland. But this time again we had enough energy and didn't need it. This single package of sugar visited a lot of countries, so Kolo decided to give it as a prize in our New Year's Quiz. Although there were many good prizes, my choice was clear from the beginning. I wanted to show other interesting parts of the world to the sugar. During the summer it visited Slovenia and then I took it to Sweden. As its life was about to end (the package said "Best before: October 13, 2009") and I was invited to Bergen, we both agreed that Bergen is one of the best places in the world to die.

Ein Traubenzucker died on Sunday, November 15, 2009 at cca. 20:45 CET. This is the last picture taken before its death. Then we ate it. Rest in peace.

Thanks to Zuzka for inviting both of us to Bergen. It was one of the best short trips I have ever had. You can see the best 4 photos on Flickr or more photos on Google Photos.
