A lot of visitors went after the soldiers to see what would happen next.
Time to go after them as well.
We found a spot with a view on the soldiers, but they were a bit far away.
It was difficult to see what was happening exactly, but there was lots of cannon and gun fire going on. The smoke was impressive.
But I can't tell you who won...
After that confusing battle we all went back to the settlement. The soldiers took a break and put their guns away.
Yum yum!
After having a snack we visited the windmill.
The miller told us all kinds of interesting stuff about the windmill, but I didn't take any pictures of the windmill up close. It did look impressive with that dark sky though.
Next we saw that the guys with the boat were in trouble again.
They peddled away fast while other soldiers kept firing at each other.
Why are they stopping? Keep rowing!
It turned out they wanted a save spot from which they could return fire.
It was getting late and both soldiers and visitors were calling it a day.
Reenactment people relaxing after a long day.
I got a postcard that shows Bourtange from above, so you can see the shape of the settlement.
It was a really cool outing. I'm glad I was able to share it with you, even though I'm a few years late.
