Germany Sauerland
We visited Attendorn and Atta-hoehle caves - we walked down a deep slope and then there were pretty wet rocks everywhere - small and large ones and we walked up and down and listened to a person talking in german. I was not afraid although it was very dark sometimes.
We took a long time to reach this castle...mamã and papá kept talking to each other about "not another diversion" - not sure what that means - so I looked outside the window and I slept also (I am a good person in the car). When we arrived at "Altena" it was raining very hard and we climbed up a steep hill so I asked papá to carry me most of the way.
Then I enjoyed it inside the castle - there was a special "scouts room" with many beds inside.
Here I am as a 'dashing' knight in armour...ready for my sword? The 'hood' was soooo heavy, that I nearly fell over just wearing it.
Back to the old days and I am being eaten by a Dinosaur....fear not, my mamã and papá will save me.
After being saved, we had a lovely dinner outside on the terrace in a "biergarten" in this town called Arnsberg.
The next day, we visited the lakes near Hirschberg before driving to Soest for lunch where there were many bicycles (and a lot of rain). We had a big lunch and visited churches before mamã bought a helmet for her bicycle (grey colour, mine is a green helmet).
After lunch we went to a railway museum in Bochum - so many types of trains with some weird double decker high speed one. Again it rained and rained so I had a chance to play some games especially for children.
Then it was another long drive (comfortable in papá's new BMW 104 sports car) via Essen (church with gold Madonna and child) to Köln where there is a very, very large church. We had dinner - a type of pizza - by the river and I loved running off to play and just be naughty - I am always full of energy :-). Here I am with mamã in Köln next to a smaller church. Aufwiedersehen.
