during the easter vacation I visited my family and together we made an excursion to Kloster Chorin, a ruin of a medieval monastery north-east of Berlin. It happened that at this time there was a medieval styled fair close by....

more pics at your request... :)

LMAO at the first picture (+ description)

Ahh so beautiful, I miss Europe :(

Cool pics, I never went to one of those medieval festivals before. Loved the goats too. :D

Nice little tour...The Kloster Chorin didn't look that special but seems like you enjoyed the little festival and the goats:D

But "Urban Showcase":dunno:

you're right, it's maybe the wrong forum... it a mod reads this, the thread can be moved to the 'General Photography' section

and about that Kloster Chorin, I'll add a few more pics... but maybe I failed to catch the atmosphere... which is great without all the people there... I didn't expect that festival :dunno:

She just made her drivers license two weeks ago. She is not bad, but we nearly had a crash at a crossing... :bash:

Looks like a nice spot, and the Goats are cute, they would be good curried.

We have these medieval battle re-enactments in my town, strange hobby but I guess it could be fun and they usually drink lots of beer.

OmG ... for some reason I translated 'would be good curried' with 'would be good when prepared as a curry' :nuts:

but yeah, they're nice pets :)

I thought that it ment the same...what does it mean?

o...kay....


I thought more about 'to curry' like 'to groom' or 'to currycomb' (german: striegeln, putzen. kämmen etc.)... but your choice is fine with me :eat:

:laugh: the best pets are thus those you can eat once you are tired of them.

did you really mean to curry-cook? :dunno:
my first thought was petting them

^^ Yes, I meant cooking, I didn't even know what a currycomb was until I looked it up :laugh:

you never have been at a pony yard, petting zoo or farm or something like that? :)

Well, I made some remarks about cooking the goats when I was there... my two little sisters didn't like it :lol:

My grandparents were all farmers so i've been to a farm hundreds of times but they had cows and I don't think they combed them!

lol... that only for us city kids who never see nay animals besides sewer rats :nuts:

Nice pics!

Isn't it a bit early in the year for medieval fairs? :)

obviously not... there plenty of these fairs around here, in summer you can have them every week in a different town/village. I guess the season starts with easter vacations as people here tend to use these days for family activities...
