Medieval Interlude

Stalling for time I suspect, and also eager to escape an impending downpour, we visit the castle at Muiden.

Former home of another treacherously assassinated nobleman, it is now filled with displays (this is how they poured hot burning oil on the heads of invaders…) and medieval video games (virtual jousting, anyone?) and medieval dress-up…

Outside it does pour for a short time, but the sun follows and after some hanging and milling around...

...we exit for lunch and for a demonstration involving falcons and owls

…the kids immensely pleased to handle these beautiful raptors.
