Travelog post for: beck the lion

We went to a big mansion today. First we had to drive through its park to get there.

It had a long driveway.

It's on a hill above the Lake Baldeney. This view with the horse is pretty famous here and on some postcards of the city.

From the garden one can usually see the lake but at the moment one can only see a bit of the hills on the other side.

In teh park there's a playhouse for the children with a living room, kitchen and even basement and upper story, all very small.


Next to it is a sand box where we took a rest.

And finally you can see the mansion fromt he garden side:


The garden:




A lion fountain!

This scary buddy guards the back entrance to the smaller part of the mansion where the family actually lived:

The house from the other side:

One of the patriarchs of the family who owned all this.
