Today I did my first morning run of the holiday - I have consumed an awful lot of calories that need burning off. I got horribly lost but returned in time for our final service with the Dorsten church. This time it was all in German although we were given an English outline. Apparently the pastor didn't stick too closely to the outline we were given! Not that we were to know!
Our hosts Gabi and Verner work as volunteers at the Jewish museum and they were having a fundraising lunch today. The food wasn't quite to the kids taste although Lucy loves that sort of food so we called in to McDonalds on the way home for some familiar rubbish.
After that we spend over 3 hrs in the swimming pool. It was a huge place with the usual collection of slides, lazy river, hot pool, outdoor pools, kiddie pool, proper 25m pool, etc along with sun loungers and chairs around the sides. Much much bigger that Lisburn pool - more like Centre Parcs. As we left Jack asked if we could go back after tea - says it all! It seemed like a fitting end to a great holiday.
Tomorrow we leave at 10.30 and should be back in Belfast for around 5.30pm. So glad I'm off for the rest of the week!
Final photos -

2. Last nights entertainment after the BBQ (and Dorstens answer to Gary and Julie)
3. Kathryn and Vera clearly enjoying the festivities last night!
4. Some traditional dancing at the Jewish museum today. The local mayor turned up again to press the flesh (aren't all mayors the same?). The German word Bürgermeister does not (as the name suggests) someone who is an expert at flipping burgers in Johnny Whites. It does in fact mean mayor, a somewhat less important job. Now you know....

6. Megan felt aggrived that there were more pictures of the boys than her, so here is an older picture from our first visit to the Jewish museum of Megan and Vera listening to Mika.
