Small Houses and Medieval Stuff

There were also miniature houses at the dinosaur forest.


There was a miniature Martini Tower!


We had to pose with the tower of course.


The train station of Groningen was there as well.
But wait...


The statue of Uncle Loeks' horse was on top of the station, and there was a dinosaur as well!


Oh, I know this place. We visited a couple of years ago.
I think it's called the Menkemaborg. Maybe that would be cool for Gilbert to visit.


This is the cloister of Ter Apel.
My owner's friend Patricia, who was with us told us we could visit it for real later that afternoon.


One of the dolmen we have here in the Netherlands.


More dinosaurs! They were causing mayhem on a square in miniature Leeuwarden.


Luckily the miniature people were smart and ran from the dinosaurs.


Finally we left the Dinosaur Forest and went on to our next adventure of the day:


Medieval Ter Apel.
At the cloister Patricia told us about there were all kinds of people dressed in medieval clothes and doing medieval things.


There was a real joker!
He did tricks and those were really cool and funny.


There was a lady with wool dyed with natural ingredients. We checked what she used. Having a brother who can give you a boost is very handy.


Yum, yum, that soup smelled delicious.


There were small trebuchets as well! How cool.


An a really big loom.


This was about preparing stuff to make clothes from it.


So many tasty vegetables.
Those French fries were quite a while ago, all that food made us hungry.


Luckily they sold food as well, so we had a really yummy broth with bread.


We had a look inside the cloister.
My owner forgot to take a picture of the outside to compare to the miniature cloister though...




An apothecary table.
Gilbert examined some of the stuff while I kept an eye on him in case he was reckless again.


Outside we spotted this shield, which is an outrage!
The knight should be lucky he wasn't there or he'd have had a problem with us.


A castle made out of hay.


After seeing all the fun stuff there was to see we sat down for a drink before we had to go home.


It was a really awesome day and Gilbert was now convinced that traveling with my owner was something he'd love to do. It might be time for him to try a short trip on his own soon.
