Our second day with the full team in Hamburg started peacefully...
Then we met up at Berne station and, after a change of train, we were at Berliner Tor ...
... waiting for a train to Bergedorf
and here it comes
Tanja and Andrea demonstrate a new dance - but some were worried about them taking up pole dancing
Out into the sunshine at Bergedorf, we straggle through the town
via a playground for kids - small
and large
to the Schloss where there's a mediaeval market today
complete with mediaeval rock music
mediaeval food
of various kinds
mediaeval basket making
and entertainment for all
including dancing
It's peaceful behind the castle, where there are a few more stalls including the smithy
Margaret and David find some peace by the lake
as do Rosie and Bridget in their newly acquired headgear
Helmut is keen to show off his pictures...
... then gets caught himself!
Then we're heading home, a final glance back at the fair.
Back in Berne we are given tea in the Volkshaus. Andrea tries on Bridget's headdress - she decided not to buy her own.
Then Helmut gave a slide show of his pictures from British Day
attracting a big crowd
Social dances followed, in German ...
and English
The evening concluded with the mandatory rendition of Rolling Home before we said our goodbyes and rolled home quietly (no noise after 11pm).
