Flohmarkt at the Olympic Stadium (Olympiapark, Munich)





Each weekend (Fri. and Sat.) a couple of hundred sellers turn out to sell their wares at the Olympiapark Stadium parking area. I can not believe we have been here for well over a year and this is the first time we have been. Lots of people selling stuff there. The funniest site were the people that sold things from their bicycles! Yep, you read that correctly... bicycles. They load things up on them, pedal to the stadium and set up around their bikes. That is dedication right there! Anyway, we brought home a couple of things. Kalynn used her spare change to buy two more stuffed animals that she does not need and a very nice German man gave her a cute little ladybug helmet for free. The lady at the spot next to his asked him if he just gave that to her for free, he said "Nope, I got a smile out of it". I thought that was really sweet and rare.

We took the loooooong route around the stadium to get to the flea market area (believe me... not by MY choosing) but it did allow us to see some beautiful scenery and the cement plaques around the stadium with the hand prints of various celebrities that have performed at the stadium.
