The Death March

 No it wasn't, Danielle.


Alan and I have been wanting to climb down from the castle via castle wall for quite a while.  Danielle and Bryan have been wanting to hike ever since moving to the incredibly flat Netherlands. Sounds like the perfect equation huh?


See the wall snaking down the mountain?


Bryan: "Yeah, right around this corner is a side walk, don't worry."
Danielle: "I can't breath.  We're all going to die."


Bryan and Danielle sharing a tender moment.  Probably something about plunging to her death. 

The picture doesn't do it justice, but my hiking outfit consists of leggings, a sweater dress, a peacoat, ballet flats, and an umbrella that came in handy for pushing massive prickle bushes out of the way. 


Sign at the bottom of the "trail."  It might translate to "tripping may result in death."

Luckily no one tripped.  And the rain held out long enough to make it all the way down. And we didn't have to have Danielle airlifted out of there.

  2. How long was the walk along the castle wall? And for how much of it did it feel like you might almost die?

  3. Thanks Sam! Me too! And Chris, I never felt like I might die. It was quite a pleasant hour long hike.
