Harry had been pretty exhausted from the previous days – it is quite something to push your doll around in her wheelchair all day, mind you.

So, on our sixth day, I decided to give my lovely husband a well deserved rest. I insisted he’d go out but leave me at the apartment for this day. (We had Netflix! 😉 )

It had been a while since Harry and our sweet froggy daughter, Nici, had a father-daughter day, anyway, so he took her to the island of Langeoog. Of course, I expected for them to bring a present. And they sure did!

Dear travel diary,

Today, we went back to Schloßpark Lütetsburg, undoubtedly the most beautiful castle garden park throughout all of East Frisia.

We had been here last year and even celebrated a renewal wedding ceremony in the little chapel on the estate.

The weather was not as great as last year but still good enough to do some nice photos.

This park is such a romantic setting so that it’s only natural for a couple of lovers to stop and sit on a bench and share some tender kisses every now and then but that would be VIP+ material. 😉

Dear travel diary,

Harry was pretty tired after two days of rolling me around in my wheelie. Also, the weather wasn’t really nice. So we decided to stay home, take naps and maybe play a nice game of “Mensch ärgere dich nicht”.

But the weather cleared up near the end of the day, so we did get out and hoped for another magic North Sea coastline sunset.

We headed for a spot where we observed a sunset last year. On our way, we met some sheep on the dyke. Unfortunately, much to Nici’s dismay, they tend to run away.

Dear travel diary,

We had a terrific day with terrific weather at Dornumersiel today.

Still, two questions linger in my mind:
a) How come the water is always gone when I get there?
b) Do I look like I’ve gained weight on the photos?

Well, anyway…

We took a stroll around the Mahlbusen which is an artifical lake between the harbour and the “Dornumersieler Tief”. The “tiefs” are a canal system reaching deep into the hinterland.

Dear travel diary,

This vacation trip promises to turn out way, way, way much better than the mishap trip to the Baltic Sea about a fortnight ago.

The train attendants were all very kind and helpful, as they had been the previous times when we traveled to East Frisia, and my husband had a very positive conversation with two nice ladies.

They were very interested in what I was about. When Harry explained to them why he was sharing his life with a companion doll, they were very supportive and even praised his courage to take me out and not hide me.
