If you like swimming and anticipate going either to the 5 pools next door (from slide pools to an Olympic sized one with a 10m diving platform) or to going to the rope swing over the canal, you might want to pack a beach towel–the white towels in the room are rather small–in addition to a bathing suit.
Also fun is that also right next door to us (actually inside the pool property) is a mini-golf course, newly renovated for this summer. Those of you coming this year might want to take Paul on for the session championship. For some reason he thinks he’s actually GOOD at hitting a little ball into a cup!?
ALL THESE PHOTOS (including the red and yellow slide), ARE OF THE POOLS NEXT DOOR TO THE SCHLOSS AND MEIERHOF.
And for those of you who would prefer to check out the natural landscape, below are a couple of photos of the canal–perfect for running or biking alongside, and as you can see, if the weather’s hot enough, just right for a dip!
The two on the rope swing are my kids–and the photo up the canal was just a picture where I pressed the button too late–all you can see is the spash! (What you can’t see are the goose bumps…the canal is COLD!!)

i didn’t think i could get more excited for europe
clear as the cannal’s water. Looking forward to see everybody!
If anyone is interested in running in the mornings ( NOT at Paul mach super-long-leg speed), hit me up. I’d love to run with someone, but I’m not superfast, nor do I feel it necessary to do a half-marathon before breakfast. Two or three miles is good for me!
i def want to do some running while we’re there. i may have longer legs than paul though.

A scenic running will be great for a start of the day!
