I an home, and worked on a lot of photos on the plane and now I can’t sleep, so I am posting them:
Oma, Leilani and I walked up to the Riegersburg Castle. It was a beautiful day, and the views were spectacular.
While I explored Leilani found this slide. She called it scandalous, it was very fast, and the landing not padded. That did not keep her from doing it again though…

Leilani likes to pretend to be a statue
The Turks tried multiple times to take the castle but failed, one time they got so mad that they “engraved a huge half-moon (their symbol) at the bottom of the rock”. I can only imagine the knights laughing at that, but they did make a fake turk and put him up on the castle’s outer wall, don’t know if one of these is the one.
At the foot of it there is a bee learning center, beekeeping through the centuries and feeding plants get explained. I want to go back when it is open.
And a reason for Andy to go there! Leopold Klettersteig looks like a lot of fun.
