Apparently we are hot news in Dorsten! We had our photo taken with the mayor in the Dorsten town hall (appropriately called the Rathaus in German) and it appeared in todays paper with a news story.
Today we visited an old Roman city called Xanten. The kids got a bit bored looking at historical stuff but they enjoyed the rest of the day. Stewarts favourite part was at a working windmill where he had to help the owner get the sails ready. This involved climbing up the sails to undo some ropes and pull the fabric across the frame of the sail. We didn´t even have to sign a parental consent form! After that we milled the grain and used the flour to make our own pizza. The German ladies used some bizzare combination of toppings but salami, olives and apple didn´t taste as bad as it sounds.
Tomorrow we´re off to an adventure park with Jens and Tine and their extended family. With a good weather forecast, it promises to be a great day.
