Alphen on de rijn

hi its Tait,
i'm in Alphen On De Rijn, Holland. I'm sorry I haven't been writing but I haven't had time.

On Friday we went to Budingen about half an hour from Nidderau, when we arrived we walked to the Schloss (castle) it was about 300 years old and was now a hotel. afterwards we walked through the main part of town. There were a lot of shops and one of them had things that looked like roller blades but were called offroad skis. While we were walking through the town we saw a cafe that sold only icecream. There were so many different flavours and there were even icecream spaghetti dishes and icecream steak (chocolate). I had a big chocolate sundae with cream and chocolate shavings. then we were on our way to the car when we saw a bakery and stopped and bought a whole heap of different German cakes. when we got home we ate dinner then had all the cake. After that Darcie, Kerstin and i made chocolate mouse and mayonaise.

On Saturday it was Hauke's birthday. We went to the Hanau markets it was mainly honey, meat, flowers and fruit and vegetables. we got given a lot of things for free like huge gherkins, honey lollies and meat. When we went home we had a sm all lunch and some chocolate mouse. Then we went to Monicas house (Biggi's sister) and had a bit of cake and slice. Afterwards Darcie, Frazer, Kerstin, Mohar (Kerstin's boyfreind) and I walked to the school soccer field and were playing for a while when a group of teenagers came down and we asked them to play with us. They said ok and we started playing, I scored our first four goals and Mohar and Frazer scored the last two. We won 6-1. Then we went home and played German monopoly, Darcie won. After that it was dinner time and there was so much food. There were heaps of German things, and also lots of other stuff like garlic bread and sausages. After dinner Darcie, Frazer, Julia and I played darts. It was really cool because the dart board was electric and kept score and counted the points even if the dart didn't stick in the dart tips were plastic and the board had holes all through it so the darts could stick in. Then we went home and went to bed.
Bye
Tait
