Day 11: Schloss Scherneck Tree Climbing

Sunday, September 27, 2015
Scherneck, Bavaria, Germany
  Today we will go tree climbing through obstacles at Schloss Scherneck. It is a place only 30 minutes from Richard's house. Bonnie and Monica will take a few pictures and relax while we climb. Here they have 9 different courses with increasing levels of difficulty. You zip line on the final section of each course. An instructor goes over how to put on your harness and safety instructions for clipping and unclipping on the course. Every new person must go on the White ( easiest) or Yellow ( the next difficulty up from white ) to get the hang of how to safely traverse the course. After going through the Yellow course, Tom, Richard and I went on the Red, Blue ( 3rd hardest) and Brown (2nd hardest). Richard and I then decided to try the hardest black course. My forearms were burning after each section on the Black course and so I took a short cut to skip the final 3 sections. Richard completed the whole Black course. Everyone else was climbing the various other courses. We were at the climbing park for around two and a half hours. We had water, juice and coffee after climbing, then said our goodbyes to Richard and his family. It was a fun time visiting in Aichach with Richard, Monica, Kathrine and Joanna.
   The drive back to Munich took about an hour . After we unloaded, Manu followed me back to the rental dealer and I turned in the van key to the local gas station as the dealer instructed me to since they were closed. We all sat around and relaxed before heading out to dinner at the famous Augustiner Keller restaurant. Miah is going out with Ade's daughter Jessica and her friends tonight, so she will not be joining us. We took the subway to near the restaurant and walked the rest of the way. The restaurant has a large beer garden outside and a large beer hall inside. I had pork roast, potato dumpling and red cabbage along with my beer. Everyone was tired from our long day and so we just went back to Manu's place. As we got near it was decided to drive to the local ice cream shop for a last minute dessert.
