Today was a day to do a little sightseeing in the area (after seeing dwelling #10 -our favorite so far, but now we have to wait for the landlord to approve us, more to follow on that saga for sure!)
We decided to go to the baroque style palace, Augustusberg, about 15 minutes away from Bonn by train. It was quite a trip, and the palace is very "fancy", but the tour in German was lost on us for the most part. The kids liked fountains and gardens the best, and Olof was fascinated by how the fountains were powered in the 1700s.
The day has been a great one, with delicious cakes for all of us - we tested the strawberry, the plum and the rhubarb, yum! And slow walking in the very ornate gardens on a slightly rainy and very pleasant day.
One of my favorite things when I lived in Berlin was having coffee and cake in the afternoons and on Sundays (the only thing to do because the cafes were the only thing open on Sundays).
