Rob found a castle indicating 30 minutes from our Airbnb in Heerlen in a small town named Hoensbrok. What we think will be an hour of photography and trivial viewing is three hours of discovery and fun. There are so many things to explore in the castle - we go to the tower, almost locked in the dungeon, sympathizing with the ancient farmers in the servant, surprised by the embroidery carpets in the aristocracy. , playing with the collection of the best classic board games I have seen, and we can even hear the story about a secret room that helped a smarter man than the French army like how.
it's a beautiful day in Heerlen and we
are going on an adventure that Rob
picked out this is the bus stop

that is onion soup and soup came on
gross okay
but fridges okay I think we may have
ordered a little too much what do you
think
[Music]
and you did you poop straight into the
water then the people that started be
fishing catching the fish and then on
the dinner tables behind a fading mark
my words we are in the prison sample
below the dungeon
there wasn't any lighting whatsoever
this prison cell can be brought without
ten centimeter thick door that can be
barred with a heavy oak beam into the
bear here you had better go upstairs to
safer and more comfortable places before
someone accidentally knocks at door it's
like it I guess if the chain actually
chain right where does it go around
oh well trained here so you just said
they with no light thank you see more
dangerous criminals I walked up here
like you knew I said it first okay
that's cool that's kind of creepy when
when there is that route no Rob don't
[Music]
this is the real karate the real prison
see you later
[Music]
maybe this is the family hoon like their
ancestors I think aside from the cyclic
sorry but if you were living through
this time yes or the prisoner
[Music]
yeah
I assume this is Limburg actually more
accurately mysterious right about there
is where apartment is that's the river
mass and this is all the French army
[Music]
Wow I've been really just going through
this little door
it's like hoppity-hop a town hall itself
and we're gonna get bending and stooping
to get through like they covered this
over so that it just looked like a wall
and then the French soldiers and they
couldn't find him but they knew he was
here they had the idea to count although
all the windows from outside and all the
windows from inside to see if there was
a difference there was one window that
was unaccounted for but they didn't know
which so all the soldiers like burnt a
candle in front of the windows so that
they would know from outside which
window it was that was that they hadn't
seen yet unfortunately the bishop was
informed of the plan and that's why he
also put a candle there like they just
chalked it up to you know we made a
mistake we were counting the first time
he's not here let's go they never found
him
[Music]
we could be here for hours these are
like old board games have the highest
division game Oh three hours maybe even
four hours and that was 1950 euro for
two of us and we could have spent longer
and definitely it was I think next room
around bonus is this really kid-friendly
lots of games and activities for the
kids involved in so well nephew's time
they go what are you doing
[Laughter]
so
hey it covered my thumb
