We had a fabulous Sonntag in Leipzig! The day started with a trip to the stable to meet Vinja. Vinja is a beautiful, gentle and friendly horse owned by our friends. This was Sabrina’s first up close and personal experience with a horse and she loved it! She fed Vinja carrots and rode, with lots of help, along some beautiful forest trails. She was happy and comfortable in the saddle; I told her not to get any ideas;) Both Adrian and I rode Vinja too. As Adrian put it, we were getting ready for the Greman Derby!
After our time at the stable, we spent the afternoon at the beach. We found a Hundestrand (dog beach) so Cooper was able to join us. Adrian and Sabrina were very brave and ventured into the cold water (it was 10 degrees Celsius)! I was cheering from the shore. We all had some ice cream, lunch on an outdoor patio (that’s right, in Germany we eat ice cream before the meal) and explored a beautiful lake only a few miles outside the city. I would say that beach days in early May are quite the treat.
