Breakfast and Castle Tour of Rötteln Castle

Wednesday morning, after getting back from Heidelberg the previous night, we went to have breakfast at a restaurant with Sven and Eny at a nice restaurant.

After breakfast we drove with SvEny to Rötteln Castle in Lörrach. It is an old castle ruins up on a hill. You can see where Sven and Eny live from there. It was a nice day, and we had a fun time while there. If you are interested in learning about the history of the castle, I recommend Google-ing it. Sven was using his new video camera while we were there, and we made a few videos where Ilya was "giving a tour". It would be smart not to believe anything Ilya said in the "tour" videos.

A theatre stage is set-up to do performances. It is a great setting for a play!

The videos are below, there are several short videos for the tour that Ilya gave. We thought they were funny. The sixth video is particularly funny. As a warning, everything said was randomly thought up right before it came out, and none of it is true.

Strittmatter is SvEny's last name fyi for the videos







This next one is my favorite.
