to use the restroom. \u00a0So we find out that we have to buy tickets for the castle out at the castle and that the porta potties that were supposed to be delivered the day before hadn&#8217;t arrived. \u00a0The closest bathroom was, you guessed it, out at the castle.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hollenbeck.ws\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/image.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\"

always wanted to visit this castle. \u00a0Well this time I got to. \u00a0 However, I wasn&#8217;t aware of how many steps there were to get you out there. \u00a0Mom took one look at the stairs and almost turned around. \u00a0Lolol<\/p>\n<p>So, it&#8217;s a long flight of stairs down, then a short path then more stairs to take you up to the castle.<\/p>\n<p><a

happy though. \u00a0 Lolol<\/p>\n<p>The wind was blowing really hard out there to. \u00a0I looked up and saw a bird trying to fly. \u00a0The wind was blowing so hard that the bird looked like he was just hovering.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_723\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hollenbeck.ws\/travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/image-6.jpeg\"><img
