Yesterday we had quite a large breakfast, more like a brunch so it would last the whole day until late afternoon and then we went to one of Tom’s friends places. They had a really beautiful dog as big as a wolf and it was so fun playing with her because it was like she was the bowling ball and I was the pins, which meant I couldn’t really stand up on the front lawn because she would bowl me over. It was great fun. Later on I learnt that she didn’t used to be good with kids, but for some reason her and I got on really well. I’m really looking forward to having my own dog one of these days when we get back home to NZ.
Anyways after that we went to another of Toms friends places. This guy is called Hans and his place is so MASSIVE! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
His grandfathers lived here and had alot of old machinery that doesnt work now, so Hans got it made into cool fences. Its pretty good recycling I thought.
He has horses and cattle that are called beef cattle because they don’t produce milk for drinking, so he waits until their older and then……that’s the end of them sadly.
We went down to the cattle and we stood there watching the little cute baby calves following their mothers around.
They’ve got alot of land on their farm which isnt that common in Germany,this was me walking on a pile of broken roof tiles. It made a cool sound that i liked.
We had a big feast later for dinner and I played chess with mum and absolutely WON!!!!?!?!? and also I won against Tom as well.
I made this deal with Hans that when I come back to Germany in my life, I must visit him. He was a really great guy.A bit like Santa Clauss.
I think I’ve wrote enough now, so see you next time because I really need to a peeeeee! !
Enjoy the photos of our day.
Oh yeah i forgot….We also went up into the forest to a mine site to see how they make charcoal and extract iron out of iron ore to make tools.
This is the burn pile they set up to make the charcoal.
This is the raw iron ore
This is measuring out equal parts of charcoal and iron ore to put in the furnace.
This is the furnace.
This is a really complicated sign about whats going on. And it was in German which makes it even harder to understand.
But we had fun and it was really interesting, and very scientific. I hope you can understand it from the photos. I thought the charcoal pile was pretty cool (actually really hot) and now I understand how charcoal’s made. It really takes a lot to make it, so dont waste it.
