Slightly easy day


Hallo,
Today we slept late...well more to the point I slept late...well in actual fact I fell asleep blogging last night and didn't wake up until 10:30am. So that was about 10 hours of sleep, which I guess I needed! Anyway we left the house at 12 and arrived in the shopping district of Oldenburg, where we had several hours of shopping in the "pedestrian center". We had beautiful weather with a nice breeze!

At 4 o'clock we had a guided tour of the town center of Oldenburg with interesting facts. Like the first postcard was invented here in Oldenburg. Oldenburg the level 1 Number 1 soccer team as of today :) Woo hoo!! and that in 2006, Oldenburgers (horses) were the third most successful breed in the dressage ring.



After this tour we were invited to Peter and Gudela Hugenoth's house for a Farewell to the Oldenburg Rotary club. It was wonderful. A traditional dinner of beef and cheese with vinaigrette dressing to start. Small chickens with a lovely red and almond sauce for an entree and we finished up with fresh strawberries with a wonderful whip cream top and chocolate flakes. Hmmm yummy!!!

All in all a wonderfully relaxing day and super fun to spend it with such friends as we have made already!!
