Day 12

Ohhh wowee, what a day!!

We drove about 5 hours across Germany to Wewelsburg and straight to
the castle. Small gorgeous town, forests and farms, up little hills to
the amazing Wewelsburg castle that was built in the 1400's. We had
reserved a room inside the castle and we were so excited to stay there.
After we paid we found out there was a huge group of elementary age
school kids staying in the castle on a field trip and we could hear them from our room. It was crazy in there. So, we drove down the street to
the small city of Paderborn and immediately checked into a new hotel!
The "best" part was that we pulled into the wrong gated parking lot and
couldn't get out because you had to have a key to open the gate.
Thankfully, John is amazing and speaks perfect German and found someone
to let us out otherwise we would have had to live there.

Well, once again, we hadn't eaten much all day and we were starving
to death and our traditional German dinner was better than any food
ever!

Tomorrow we're touring the castle and doing more and more driving. We are gonna sleep so good tonight!

Day 13

Sleeping in got us off to a late start but we really needed it. We toured the
Wewelsburg Castle and saw the entire history of Westphalia and the
people from that region. We got yelled at for taking pictures in the
north tower over a loud speaker. We didn't know, there weren't signs. 😉 We
took another picture anyway and got yelled at again. We thought we were
going to get chased out. Such rebels!
After a little walk in the forest we had our last long leg of driving to Amsterdam.
