We woke up early had a very nice breakfast and went for a walk up to the fortress. There were several separate stairways up to the fortress. We took these. | ![]() This is a long set of stairs |
The fortress at the had a large ditch around the outside. Perhaps it was a moat years ago. Now it is a deer park. This was taken on what would have been the drawbridge looking down in to the moat. | ![]() Need a caption |
The top of the fortress was a large area with a stage, about 50 picnic tables, a snack shop, bathrooms, and 2 cannons. This view is back over the towns toward our hotel. To the right of the clock tower there is awhite building. We are the 4th window middle row. | ![]() Need a caption |

We were tired. We sat down on a bench eating a snack and watching them load the boats for the ride into the mist and island. We were falling asleep. Fortunatley at least one of us was awake ata any one time. We decided to walk to the other side and take some picutres then take the bus back to the hotel so we could fit in one more wakf for the day. | |
This is the only picture from the last walk of the day. We walked upstream and saw many flat bottomed boats with 1 oar. I think they tow the boat upstream and float down with the current. Total walking mileage for the day for these 2 old timers was 13 miles | ![]() Need a caption |
