Friday - Our last day in North Germany

Although all week the weather reports have been for today to have been the best weather of the week, the storm that has been over Germany all week will linger a bit and go out unwillingly. We cancelled our trip to Hamburg. We also cancelled our alternate of going to the entertainment park called “Heide Park” which is a lot like Disneyland. It is only 5 Km from Soltau. We decided to wander about the Luneburger Heide area and just take in the beauty. We have been living in the heart of the area for a week and traveling out more distant. This is the closest we got to the Heide Park.


We stopped in one village so that Carole could chat with the locals.

Returning to Soltau, we visited the toy museum. It was mostly dolls and doll houses from the past 500 years.

On the way to the ice cream parlor is a cute fountain. It appears that they both forgot that she just came to get a bucket of water.

We got caught up in rush hour traffic crossing the street to the park.

A last trip thru the park back to our hotel. This is the entrance to the park.

The park has a water playground. The kids pump water up, over that thru until it comes out in the sand where it runs back into the river.
