Gilbert - A Fun Vacation (day 1, part 2)

After visiting the tea museum it was time to actually drink some tea. They had lots of different tea and flavors. We settles on Hot & Spicy Green Tea.

(They tried to bring us Hot & Spicy Rooibos tea, but as I don't like Rooibos we asked for them to bring us the Green Tea we ordered.)

We also got a Cream Tea. That's a small High Tea apparently. It had lots of yummy snacks: chocolate muffins, scones, and cream cheese sandwiches.

The scones came with jam and whipped cream. I think they should have clotted cream, but the whipped cream was yummy as well.

The Hot & Spice Green Tea was delicious. It had chili pepper and cinnamon.

When we finished our Cream Tea we went back to the car and drove to Diana's house.

Which is in Germany!
We stopped to admire these white swamp flowers. No idea what they are though.

At Diana's house she showed us her collection of Lilliput Lane houses. There was one with a pineapple roof! 

In the evening we went out to eat in Meppen.

There were statues of guys doing... something. I think the one guy lost whatever he had in his hands.

Waldgasthof Röckers

There was a wooden duck on our table so people knew we had a reservation,

My owner had what Sullivan calls Evil Food! But I got French fries. Yum!

There was a chicken on the table. It was very friendly. 

After dinner we looked around the garden of the restaurant.

I think this means there was a bakery here once.

Next we did some more sightseeing in Meppen.
We saw this mill.

Which was next to a river.

It was a lovely spot.

There even was still a maypole from the May Day Celebration were they celebrate the return of spring.


Coming next: A Church and more
