Wiesbaden was amazing and beautiful! It was really what I had imagined Kaiserslautern to look like. K-town is nice and all but when we received orders to Germany I thought it would be all red roofs, painted shutters and cobblestone. Kaiserslautern is more industrial than I had assumed.
We began our visit by going to Kletterwald. A tight rope obstacle course high up in the trees! I misunderstood the website when it said ages 4 and up. Gavin was only allowed to do a tiny version if the obstacle course but no adults were allowed to accompany a child on it. Gavin wasn't have fun and he and Jason ended up staying on the ground while Bryton and I climbed, balanced, and zip lined our way through the tree branches.
I had to put my purse and phone in a locker so we don't actually have any picutlres to share.
Bryton and I had a lot of fun together but lost track of time while Jason and Gavin waited for us.
After our tree exploration we went down into the city to walk through the shopping district on the cobblestone streets.
There we found a fun Lego store to play in for a while. Other stores included a 1€ shop and a fun little gift shop that sold stuffed animal head mounts (ie the unicorn in the picture).
As dinner time rolled around we walked up to an Asian diner and parked our keesters on the patio. Each seat had a small fleece blanket folded and draped across it. This was super nice as it was getting chilli sitting in the shade.
I was able to order our dinner in German and while we waited a stranger came up to us and speaking German, complimented my speaking German and how dissapointing it is that so few Americans try to learn the language.
So that was very nice.
Dinner was amazing! We all cleaned our plates and continued down the cobblestone. We found small easter baskets and then some Gelato.
After a long day of touring the city and seeing some amazing sites we headed back to our parking garage.
