Pentecost Sunday - pt. 1
It isn’t that I actually have a long story to tell, but the gazillion photos I took on our trip on Pentecost could only be reduced to a still staggering number to go into this post.
So prepare for a multi-multi-part photo post that will hopefully enthral you as much as the place we went to enthrals me.
Also, there will be a humourous intro photo, a mysterious discovery in the woods and animals.
Thrills galore!!!!!
My Dutch friend M. visited me on the Pentecost weekend, and on Sunday we drove over to the Externsteine which I already mentioned once in the distant past.
Being from the flat, flat Netherlands, M. was already feeling like he was in a foreign country once we had reached the outskirts of the Teutoburg Forest mountain range.
Then we parked, got out, shivered in the unforecast cold (evil weather people), took a look at the car we had parked beside and wondered: are there really classes in that?!?
Shaking our heads in confusion, we started walking towards the stones.
Here’s one of the early glimpses:

“main” stones as seen from the front
And for a easier reference:

legally climbable stones as seen from the front, numbered

a few stragglers on the left of the stones

Hi Mel, nice pics..unfortunate number plate there, but maybe right for a car I was in , I get motion sick on long distance journeys :S …haha

Lovely pictures.
Ummm…Mel? Your “Teutoburg Forest” link doesn’t work. It gives me an Error 404, or some such thing.

@ Pan: Unfortunate indeed, hehe. But nevertheless highly amusing.
Motion sick, or had you been at the alcohol…?
@ Lynnette: And there’s more pics to come.
Sorry about that link; I fixed it.
Greetings @ all from the Teutoburg Forest!

Hm, some random fluctuation must have set this post to “private”.
I have no clue when it happened, so if anyone else noticed anything…..?

Hahaha!
Glad I amuse. It happens on long car journeys, long plane flights..all happens sans alchohol.
Sadly you seem to think I’m always “at the alchohol”. Ironic since eveytime I speak to you it seems you are “at the woodruff wine”

Aha! That’s where it went! I was starting to think I had imagined it. Not a good thing, Mel.
Now I’ll have to check out that link…
