May 9-10, 2014
9th- Today after work we met up with Manu and
Phillip and his friend Thomas to go to Zwickau for the Fruhlinsfest- Spring
Festival. It was like a mini carnival with games and rides and food. We walked
around a bit and then they all played a shooting game. Heavens is a pro at
shooting targets. She only missed two! She even won three prizes from all of
the points put together. Then Manu and Heavens went on a ride which took
forever to start but once it did it was pretty cool and they had fun! Then we
walked into town and went to an Irish pub for dinner and drinks. It was a good
night.
10th-Today we met up with Manu and Phillip and we
went to Augustusburg Castle about an hour away from us. There we played on the playground
while we waited for Maria. We went on the slide and see saw and it was fun.
Then Maria came and we went up to the castle. We first started with the 3-D
painting exhibition. This is the main reason we came. All the paintings look
3-D and you can take a funny picture doing a pose with them. It was hilarious!
We had so much fun doing funny poses and taking lots of pictures! Then we went
to have cake and coffee and to relax a bit; while I freaked out with the
automatic door lol. After that we went into the Dungeon to find out all about
the torture techniques used in previous times. Some were very, very harsh! Then
we saw some of the birds they keep at the castle and then up the tower to see
the view and very expensive but not so impressive paintings! Maria had to get
going so we took some pictures with the view and walked back down. We decided
to go down the slide once more although it was a bad idea for Heavens as she
went a little too fast and landed on her bottom! Ouch! Then we said goodbye to
Maria and Manu and Phillip took us to the other side of the Castle where there
was a luge! This one was really cool as it was super fast! And it went around a
mini golf place which looked cool. We had a good time. Then we did a little
shopping before going home. Overall it was an awesome day out with many laughs
and one of my favorite times in Germany.
Until next time,
