Epe

Gronau-EPE

Next Matt and I traveled to the other side of the country to spend some time with his “Aunt”.
To break up the journey we stopped for the night in Hanover, which is a very industrial town without much tourist stuff, but some pretty cool buildings like the one shown below.

We spent 2 weeks in Epe, which is near the Dutch border. It was a very relaxing fortnight and we went to Holland one night to see “Charlie and the chocolate factory” and as it was screening in English with Dutch subtitles. Before the movie there was a really cool laser show.
We also went to Munster with Jannine and Haunau to have a look around. The Dom there has a really cool astronomical clock.

We also went to visit a castle one day.
We went into Enschede a few times and it became obvious that we had crossed the border back to Holland when we saw all the bikes parked outside the shops.
As the weather was really nice we indulged in a lot of ice creams and did uber touristy stuff like mini-golf. With the added challenge of not being able to read the rules.

After a few relaxing weeks we caught an early flight to Vienna to continue out holiday.
