Day 4 Ice skating fun

For day 4 one of the options we had was a trip to a lake in the south of Munich. But after a big day at Schloss Neuschwanstein and Christmas market we took it easy. We spent the morning relaxing at home. In the afternoon we drove to a nearby town for iceskating. Something my boys were very keen to try.

Ready for an exciting afternoon - another cute girls' car passengers.

The ice skate rink was only open for an hour and a half so we didn't waste anytime. As soon as we got there everyone got in the gear and off we went.

Ashley was pretty keen but she stayed off the rink...

I am not sure what the boys were expecting but they were pretty annoyed that they couldn't stand up and skate like the others. But they kept going at it. Luckily they had some learning bars available for them to hold on...

I don't know when I last ice skated but I definitely enjoyed it! I am sure the boys will have another go. The kids enjoyed watching the ice machine cleaning the rink afterwords.

Oliver was very happy to be able to see some ice hockey practice too.

We planed to have dinner at the Golden Arches to make it easy for everyone. When leaving the ice skate rink it was still early even for "an early dinner" so we drove to this homestead where Maike and Hans one stayed. They also showed us where they got married.

Next time we visit Munich I would love to stay there. Such amazing surroundings! So beautiful!! We were there at the perfect timing to enjoy the beautiful sunset.

The kids still had lots of energy to run around of course.

Another great day out. We are in love with this beautiful country!
