Hello!
Oh, it's been a long time since I last wrote something in here but my host had a really busy time and we couldn't be on the road to take photos. But today I am really excited, she said that we are going to a medieval market at a really beautiful place. But first we had to take the train from Hamburg to Lübeck.
And then from Lübeck to Neustadt (Holstein). We had to take Jenny's bike with us because from the train station in Neustadt it was about 5 km to the market.
On these markets they have special money, Jenny had some coins left from an earlier market and showed them to me.
Here you can see some of the signs on the street we had to go by bike.
And then we arrived at the market, I didn't know where to watch first. This was the estate in the centre of the market, looked a bit like some small castle. They even had a small river around it.
Here you could buy some really delicous mead and some other nice drinks.
They had two stages on the market, this was the bigger one and the ceremony to open the market officially should take place here in a few minutes.
Oh, did you see the blue sky? It seems as if some dark clouds are coming...
Ah, here the leader of the market is coming and with him many people in medieval clothes.
There was some little frog hopping over the gras and the monk called "Bruder Rectus" was trying to catch him.
And even the Death was there. Should I be afraid?
The people from the market are living in there tents. They try to live as close to the real medieval ages as possible.
This was the place for the knights to do their battles but now there wasn't anybody. But more dark clouds were coming...
We walked over the market to the other stage where these two guys called "Das Niveau" were performing. It was really funny!
Ah, here we found some people fighting but without horses. I hope nobody got hurt!
And here is "Das Niveau" again!
After this really heavy rain started to fall... We stayed at the market and some saw more shows and ate some really delicous things but we couldn't take pictures so that the camera wouldn't get wet...
Bye,
Sanny
