Hi everyone,
well what an exiting week it has been. Today we visited a farm museum, called Amerang, that had one farm house that was 400 years old! There were also other farm buildings and houses that weren't quite as old, only 200-300 years old..! It was amazing, even though the weather wasn't that great we still had a great time. The houses that were built back then were crafted and built so well. They took such pride in what they were building as they wanted their houses to last. They built the houses so that they could be warm in winter and not hot in summer. But the surprising thing is that for a long time they didn’t have the invention of a chimney, so that the smoke could leave the house after the wife has cooked. Instead all the smoke from the fire would go into the upstairs part of the house. They did have a high risk of starting a fire inside. We also saw how rope was made back then and learnt also why bees were so important; bees were a great way to make a good income because it was the only sweetener available, but you had to be very careful.
Later that day we went Lake Chiemsee and we took a boat to the Herreninsel to visit King Ludwig’s Castle Herrenchiemsee. The castle was spectacular although it was never finished because the King ran out of money and later that year he passed away in mysterious circumstances.
Later we went on the boat again and went to the Fraureninsel where we walked around the island and explored the island. We visited the church which was very beautiful.
It was such a lovely day and I wish we could go back.
