Uglyworld #255 - Daytrip to Monschau

Wage, Babo and Jeero suggested to Scottish mum that instead of taking the long drive down to Koblenz which was already planned that we should go visit Monschau which was only a 30-40min drive from where we live outside of Aachen.

The village of Monschau is pretty cool, it is high up in the hills to the South West of Aachen and as such there is more snow around. The streets of the village are all small and are surfaced with cobble stones, with many buildings having that cool "leaning" style to them as they've moved a little since they were first built.

Wage, Babo and Jeero were all dressed for the colder weather and after seeing how fast the water was flowing down the river, they decided to pose on one of the bridges with the steeple of the church at the village square poking up over the buildings which lined the river, and the outline of the old ruin which sits on top of the surrounding hillside.

After walking about 10 metres through the snow they realised that it wasn't going to be a quick walk to the wind turbine and decided instead to pose for a photo with it in the background.

As they made the challenge earlier that the first Ugly to reach the turbine got the front seat of the car to themselves for the trip back to Aachen, understandably Wedgehead and Jeero weren't going to let Wage out of their sight incase he made a run for it and left them behind.

Thankfully Wage didn't turn and run, and after playing a little longer in the snow they each agreed to take turns in the front seat for the rest of the journey home.

Last night myself, Wage and some engineers from America went a walk up the hill to the castle in the German city of Marburg, Wage was exhausted after the long climb and didn't want to come down to the bar for a beer with me (I really thought he was getting sick or something when he said "no").

By the time I arrived up I found him lying in bed snoring away with a cute little note on the pillow beside him which said "Good night - Sleep tight!" and had a little sheep drawn on it - he's sometimes bad, but he more than makes up for those times with his good doings...

Braving the ever increasing amount of thunder and lightning Wage ventured around the walls and inside of Juelich Citadel.

Thankfully we were treated to around 45mins of crash, bang, wallop without the rain which kicked in just as we were returning back to the car.
