happy hans (kimberly part 4)

3740 BC

well need to be on my way. still a lot of BC to get through before i reach 65 million...

however in my effort to get out of kimberly i came across who must be the most bavarian guy in town.



his name is happy hans, and i caught chilling out in front of the bavarian city mining railway centre. the name happy couldn't be anymore appropriate for the guy. though i'd say his middle name better be drunk or it's kinda false advertising...

i mean the guy was so tanked that he was balancing on an old cement strute from the train track...

but he had a nice big mug of ale... and has invited me to share it with him. so i think i'm going to take him up on this, as i may never be back this way again, and wait to leave kimberly till tomorrow. after all one shouldn't drink and drive... OH NO i've been drinking water in the car! oh man i could be in a lot of trouble!!!

best part of bavaria! (kimberly part 3)

3722 BC... oops i back tracked a little! got to make sure not to do this too often.

so on my way back to my car, which was still of course sitting just outside the platzl, i stumbled into the coolest thing ever. a REALLY sweet fountain!!!


now i don't know if you people of the innerweb know this or not, but fountains are one of my favirite things ever! their just so joyful and energic and full of life... well if water was alive... or if it had feelings... or had electricity... uh what was i talking about?

anyways there on the platzl they had this really COOL one that came out from all these rocks... it was so awesome!

i'll have to compliment uncle alex on his people's good taste in waterworks!

3724 BC

well after having checked out the platzl i can safely say it is exactly 3 blocks. phew that's a relief! only 64,996,276 more to go!


on my way back towards the car i bumped into a big black bear. he looked mean and scary... i naturally being the brave t-rex i am stood my ground before this beast (after desperately trying to find a hiding place or gun!) ... i pleaded with it to not kill me, and proceeded to tell it my whole ordeal of the last 2 months...

turns out she's a nice bear, and is just a greeter at a convience store on the platzl. she felt really sorry from me, and tried to cheer me up. man i've got bear's all wrong. at least alpian rockie bavarian canadian bears!

did i leave the continent? (kimberly part 1)

3721 BC... man i'm making some progress

today i made it to a place called kimberly. it may still a little earlier then my goal of 65 million BC, but this place was definitely stopping to check out...

to get here you have to head up a loop on the highway that puts you through some real nice and scenic mountains... i won't have headed up, but i wanted to make sure that i didn't miss any block here in BC... otherwise my count could be way off, and i'd miss 65 million


however in kimberly there was a few blocks that i couldn't drive by cause they were enclosed in a weird square complex of buildings... i again didn't want to miss a single block so i pulled into the big parking lot outside this "Platzl". the only way into the middle of the platzl was through a cool, but kinda retro tunnel... you're never going to believe what i found!


it was a ancient european type village. just like a place called bavaria in germany (i looked it up on the innerweb!)... my uncle alex would love it here. it's just like his old homeland... only here in canada... oh and it's a lot smaller... uh and they don't speak german... oh and he's not here....

it was kinda weird there were even people walking around in lederhosen which was kinda weird. i thought you only wear those when you needed to yodel for cough medicine?

not quite what i expected to find on my trip back into the BCs. though it is evidence my trip is working... an old skool alps village is definately closer to Dino times then sharwood was!

one last fun note was an advertisement for a bavarian blog! i'll have to remember check that out once i'm done exploring kimberly!
