The day of the Bonn marathon, Shannon, Austen, and I went hiking. I personally would rather do anything than run, and since I really like hiking (especially if it's to a castle) we decided to go to Burg Eltz.
The hike to the castle was beautiful. We walked beside a stream for a long while, and there were cool caves and views along the way. Before we went into the castle, we climbed a hill right next to it so we could eat lunch with a great view of the valley and castle. It was very peaceful up there, and we made a lot of lizard friends. The castle was placed in a spectacular location with a great views of the surrounding hillside. The castle grounds themselves were also unique, being built into the hill it was perched upon. After our tour of the castle, we decided to treat ourselves and get some cake. Yes this glorious castle had cake, reasonably priced cake might I add. The cake was amazing and the balcony we sat on gave us another great view. After all our cake, we headed back to the train station. However, the path we took did not take us back the way we intended, so the train station we wound up at was not the same we got off at. Because of this, we had an hour to kill in a random little village, so we found a playground and acted like children on the swings and seesaws for a little bit. Eventually, the train came and we made it back to Bonn.
The end :)
