Another shortish trip at 40-odd km. Went to Slochteren to visit the Fraeylemaborg - old, grand estate with lots of portraits, now a museum. Pretty interesting; liked giraffe piano and old servants' quarters. Didn't have time to look at gardens. Trip back very chilly.
Had coffee in hunters' bar. Guns and trophies on wall. Not historical: bar renamed "hunters' lodge" 15 years ago, symbolic of desire to keep rabble out. No rabble in clientele - mostly middle-aged motorcyclists. Good soup served, but Sidsel not happy about portion size. Sidsel always like that.
