We drove to Windhausen to pick up Belinda, drove to St. Andreasberg to slide down a hill on a little piece of plastic (almost tobogganing), then went ice skating in Braunlage. A few minor injuries resulted, most notably Jill's left arm in a lovely ice skating stack and Leonie's tailbone, hitting a snowdrift a bit too hard in the tobogganing. Anna experienced the slipperiness of refrozen snow and took another lovely tumble, but was uninjured (with the exception of a small cut on her finger which she proudly bore). It was a lovely day, but all agreed it was too cold.
Our final stop, of course, was for coffee and cake. Belinda took us to her favourite haunt, a cafe at Koenigskrug, where we had "Windbeutel" (see picture - translates as "windbag") and enjoyed the cosy atmosphere and efficient German service.
