Thankfully we had a more relaxed day at home planned after the two packed days in Amsterdam. We slept in a little bit and we ate a big German breakfast home before showing Kelly and Austin around town. We showed them the usual spots – the Dom, Rampendahl Hausbrauerei for a beer, the Rathaus, St. Marien Kirche, Café & Bar Celona for a coffee, Osnabrück Castle (which is the main building of the University), Katharinenkirche (it was our first time here), Heger Tor, Panorama for the view, old town to admire the middle aged buildings, and Große Straße for some shopping (my favorites are Vera Moda, Mango, and H&M!).That night we stayed in and watched a movie to rest up for going to Münster and Schloß Nordkirchen.

trying out their house bread and some of their special spread on top (we think it is mostly fat).. they weren’t really fans!
