Travel Diary:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a beautiful Saturday morning and none of us needed to go anywhere. No work, no school, no other distractions. Our little princess got it stuck in her head that she wants to go somewhere outdoors, make a fire and prepare some chocolate bananas\u2026 Yes, why not, indeed?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

So we did. After mile long discussions we ended up deciding we\u2019ll spend an afternoon at Heidegg Castle<\/a>, which is a very cute small castle in Gelfingen. We knew from before that there\u2019s a few fireplaces located nearby. And it has a little playground and a rose garden\u2026 well, naturally no roses around considering the time of the year, but it is a pretty place anyways. And on a sunny day one can spot million little lizards on the castle walls just chillin\u2019…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The castle itself is a really cute one, and it seems like it is actually planned for the little visitors. However, this time we were not planning to go inside. We left the boys to start up the fire (to tell you the truth the smaller one was sound asleep in his trolley at the very moment\u2026) and we girls did pay a visit to rose garden. Naturally we looked at the little lizards scurrying around the walls. And I wanted to take a photo of the princess on castle\u2019s stone steps\u2026 well, what do you know. The little lady agreed to go to the steps for the photo, sat down and the next moment she\u2019s screaming like somebody trying to kill her, in total panic\u2026 it took me a while to figure out what happened, but finally in between of all screaming she showed me her hand and it turned out she had some fresh, warm pigeon doodoo in her hand. Oh\u2026. honestly, I had to use all my self-control not to laugh out loud, and I didn\u2019t quite manage. Nevertheless, I promised her it won\u2019t kill her and we went to wash it off with liquid soap (luckily there\u2019s some well-equipped public toilets in the castle area!). Just to be sure she still wanted to use some hand disinfectant, which she knew I always have in my purse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

the doodoo steps… :) …for some reason the photo lacks the princess…<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile\nwe were living through the doodoo-crisis, my husband got the fire going and\nprepared the chocolate bananas. So we continued our nice little Saturday trip\nby playing on the playground, shortly walking in the forest and of course\neating the chocolate bananas. At some point a Swiss lady walked by with her Nordic\nwalking sticks and asked what on earth is that we are eating. I felt like an\nidiot trying to explain it to her with my rather crappy Swiss German, and of\ncourse she heard it in an instant\u2026 she was speaking with a foreigner! And IN MY\nHEAD I was thinking she probably thought she\u2019d run into some very special\ncuisine from another country, and I didn\u2019t bother to correct that we learned\nthis treat from a Swiss kindergarten teacher\u2026 Naturally I can\u2019t know what she\nwas really thinking\u2026 but in my desperate need to try to fit in, being spotted\nas a foreigner is not always easy. Too bad. I only have to open my mouth and it\nis clear to everyone within hearing distance\u2026 :) So better just live with it. However,\ncompletely unaware about the crisis IN MY HEAD she continued her walk and we\ncontinued eating the chocolate bananas. Played some more on the playground,\ncleaned up and headed home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tired but\nhappy we unloaded our car, and it just happened that the box with firewood\ndecided to retire at that exact moment. And the trunk was naturally a mess.\nWhat a nice evening duty, to clean it up! Happy day, anyway\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chocolate Bananas<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Chocolate Bananas you need bananas, milk chocolate and a fire. Just cut the bananas open from one side and fill with pieces of chocolate. Then put them bananas above campfire and let them cook until the chocolate has melted and the bananas are soft from inside and almost black from outside. Oh, and let them cool off a bit before you start eating, unless you want to burn your mouth… easiest way to eat them is to use a spoon. Delicious! Enjoy! :)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
