German Chancellor Angela Merkel has enjoyed a night out with Brisbane locals at a Caxton Street bar. PICTURES of German Chancellor Angela Merkel mingling with locals at a Caxton Street bar has caused a social media flurry. One woman, who saw Ms Merkel before she entered the bar, said the chancellor greeted most of the 70 people that had gathered when they saw her motorcade drive up the road. The crowd cheered as Ms Merkel got out of the car, the woman who gave her name as Sarah told ABC radio. Queensland's Police Minister Jack Dempsey said the sight of world leaders on the streets of the city was a testament to almost two years of security planning. "Where else have you seen a G20 where leaders are walking to events?" he said to reporters. The fact you have the German chancellor at Caxton Street and the British prime minister (David Cameron) walking down the street to parliament is indicative of the confidence the international security teams have in our operations. It is a credit to everybody who has done the organising.
