Day 3 continued

I had time to take a shower and then the bus was there to take us to a farm. This was a highlight for the guys because they got to test drive tractors and combines on a little course with hills and twists and turns. These go carts were fun for everyone.
We had schnitzel and I had apfel spazie to drink (sparkling apple juice) because Pastor Keith said I had to have some for him. He spent a year in Germany. The surprise was when we were finished and all of a sudden some very traditional German music was being played. We all wondered what was happening - I half expected to see some German dancing or something. But the waiters came out with ice cream bombs. They certainly like their ice cream! It was the dessert for a lot meals but this was the first time it came out in a fancy log with sparklers lit on it. The ice cream is very good - very rich and creamy!

And then we were off to the last Claas tour of the trip. This was a very highly technological part of their operation and cameras weren't allowed. But it was very interesting and impressive.
Dinner was back at the hotel - a seafood buffet and a very nice time! Here are a couple more shots of the cemetary!
