Dam

Saturday 8^th

Good Morning Sunshine!

We’re lucky to wake to glorious sunshine.  The children all play for an hour or 2 in the play park opposite our pitch.

As the weather has brightened, we decide to head out.

I had seen a leaflet in the campsite reception for a Maize Maze. How cool.
We arrive excited at the prospect of getting lost, but it’s closed.

After the disappointment of not being able purposefully lose ourselves in a field of corn, we drive towards the dam. Passing below the castle we had visited the night before, we drive along twisty, curved roads. It reminds me that I am dreading the precarious roads of the Alps.

Being on the tightest budget known to man, we prefer to find free parking. But there is none to be found. We wander across the Dam, 1^st stopping at a hall of mirrors, which are very oddly, just plain mirrors.

On the other side of the dam we smell Bratwurst, 2€ a pop, but for the same reason as before we can’t indulge. No funds. More packed lunches for us then.

We’re hoping it won’t normally be this tight. It was unfortunate that there were expenditures which were unexpected and beyond our control the week after leaving.

We see a sign for Tree Climbing, which we knew we wanted to partake in. A 20 minute walk up a steep hill finds another sign which says it is 2.5 km away. At least we have had our PE class today.

Back tracking down to the Bratwurst smell, we re trace our steps back to the car.  It starts to rain, so we delay the climbing for the next day.
