[[User:blacklads|Vanessa]] set up an official arriving time with the house owners at 16.15 o'clock on the second september. As though as we all came from all over Germany and England, we didn't arrive at the same time. Simon was the first attendee who came to the house and waited with a fully packed car and some really nice signs on it, in front of the door of the house. Silvio and [[User:blacklads|Vanessa]] arrived together in a taxi as the second ones. Good, that the taxi-lady didn't knew the way to the house at all :D Seems, like the area is pretty much unknown there, also for inhabitans, but we saw Simon and guided her to the right yellow huge house and were happy to be there then. Katie, Hendrik and Markus joined the "waiting three" a few minutes after that.

Then the waiting started... Although a time has been set up earlier, the house owners didn't show up until Markus took a look around the house and found a man working besides of it. And guess what, that was the guy we needed! He gave us the keys and explained a few things and let us in there.

Meanwhile Simon set up his sound equipment he brought to have some background music for us.

We were really "full" after dinner and thought about some games we could play after the table had been cleaned. Therefore Katie prepared a pairs-game with Stendhal items with 36 cards. [[User:blacklads|Vanessa]] also prepared bingo-cards with Stendhal creatures before she arrived. We played both in the evening and it was really really funny! We had some nice conversations and laughed a lot and it was really sad that the evening went over so fast.

The WLAN connection of the house was slow but it helped us to find something interesting to do. Therefore we found a huge lake of a water treatment plant in Allenbach, a city close to Hilchenbach were we stayed at. We drove there and started to walk around the lake while playing funny games like "Guess which creature I am" which wasn't as easy as we thought it would be. But we had lots of fun! After about 6 kilometers we reached our starting point again and decided about what to do in the evening. Our plan was it, to have a nice meal again with fish and we wanted to go and buy one, so we grabbed the cars again and went back to Hilchenbach, into the known shopping center of thursday.

After we finished our BBQ, we sat together, talked a bit and played "Guess which item I am". Between some rounds Silvio, Marco and Simon had the plan to take a laptop and a microphone and record some real sounds which could be used for the game. There was a stream at the side of the garden and they tried to record the water sound. Luckily none of them fell into the water ;) Bad luck was that the sheep on the other side of the stream made no sounds at that time, but were eating, so they weren't able to record a nice sheep sound... But the records which had been done were a success.

Later we decided to go back in the house because it became a bit cold outside on the terrace. We showed some more games which we played over the last evenings to Frank and started two last rounds of Bingo and pairs. Simon brought a cloak with him and we started to play "Guess which quest I show to you" which was a mix of theater and pantomime and extremely funny. Unfortunately Frank had to leave for driving back home and we started to watch a DVD Katie brought with her after that. We were all a bit tired and enjoyed the movie while laying down on the couches in the living room. The DVD ended at about 1.15 and we went into bed.
