We woke up and met up with the Germans at around 10 to hope on a train to Bielefeld which is known by the locals as a town that doesn’t exist. I am still not sure why. This was definitely a bigger city than Paderborn and felt more urban. We walked the streets and window shopped while on our way to see the Sparrenburg Castle. This OLD (800+ year old) castle stands overlooking 3 towns, a valley, countless landmarks, and more than a dozen windmills (I love seeing them all over the place). I learned that it had been destroyed and rebuilt multiple times, was owned by a Russian aristocrat a couple times, had “self-healing” defensive walls, and shattered the Geneva convention several times over on multiple occasions. We got a German tour of the whole castle which was so kindly translated by Volker and even got to climb to the top of the highest tower and see over 90km. When we finished our tour we got to do more urban walking and stopped to get ICE CREAM FOR DINNER. But it was no ordinary ice cream. The restaurant put it through a pasta maker and made SPAGHETTI ICE CREAM. It looked so fancy and was super filling. After that ice cream feast, we stopped by a grocery store to stock up for the national holiday the next day and called it a day.
