Ronneburg, close to Gelnhausen, Germany - 2nd May 2009

By: AnjaM

Ronneburg - the inside of the castle! (finally  :p)

Hi Mommy,

now we finally got to see the inside of the castle! And it was really exciting!

In the castle gate, they sold swords

and tiny toys, just about the size of me

There were some really nice people, all dressed up in medieval clothes

After so much history, we just needed a break!!!

So we wandered in the castle gardens, admiring a peacock

doing some more shopping
http://u1.ipernity.com/11/60/34/4766034.068b9f3a.560.jpg

and meeting beautiful ladies in self made costumes

http://u1.ipernity.com/11/60/30/4766030.e4025f63.560.jpg

who even did a dance for us! Well, not for us alone... but we enjoyed it very much!

On the way back to the car, we even saw an old wooden trailer

Wow, what a day!!!

We went straight to bed when we got back! But it sure was worth it!

Hugs and kisses
