Europe’s Most Awesome Barbecue

Is there anything a Backpacker could desire more than a free BBQ on a sunny day with some locals in a lively park in one of the most vibrant cities in the world?

Probably not much!

That’s why us –some folks of the Circus family- decided to organise exactly this event for our guests in Mauerpark. The date was set to be May 21^st, which turned out to be the only day of sun within four consecutive days of rain. There was about 15 guests gathering in the lobby excitingly waiting for the pick up. And there was us two girls bribing the guys with free beer to carry the BBQ and the massive suitcase full of sausages and sauces. And that’s how the party got started!

We ended up to be about 35 people in the park as there was a lot of people joining us later on and quiet a few of our staff members as well. The only interruption of all the chatting and drinking games going on, was when one of the organizers got interviewed by a TV team about the responsible choice of coal for the BBQ (which is certified coal involving no cutting down of virgin forests). Considering the beers that have already been drunken by then it was quiet funny to watch.

Apart from advancing from receptionists to TV stars, there was a lot of action going on from playing Australian drinking games over smearing lipstick in sleeping people’s faces. All in one it was a fantastic afternoon with lots of beers sponsored by lots of different people and lots of sausages (that all got eaten up in the end )

Thanks guys and see you next time!
