How do you know, Rob?

I know Mainz from coming through by train on my way to or back from Munich, Frankfurt International Airport, etc.

But also from celebrating "Meenzer Fastnach" there once. The famous Carnival, drenched in music, beer, food and good cheer. Mostly now we go to Cologne where the Kölsch Fasnach is also something to put on your bucket list. Next weekend it starts.

We celebrate Carnaval where I live in the south of The Netherlands, but the German versions are something else.

Cheers!
