During April our Girl Scout Troop #001 (yes, the only East German Girl Scout Troop), visited an amazing place! It is called Tropical Islands and is an indoor water park, this building was where they stored Blimps, as in Goodyear, except here it was probably not Goodyear, but Augustus' Reifens! Anyway, this building is so massive you could put 8 football fields inside. The building housed 3 huge pools, slides, volleyball courts, restaurants, saunas/spa, a rainforest walk with live birds from the tropics, mini cottages and houses, and our digs, tents on the sandy beaches. We had such a blast! The place was so huge they had hot air balloon rides inside, it was just amazing.
The pools actually never close, so you can swim ALL night and yes, some people did, we tried to sleep, but probably only slept for about 4 hours, so worth it though. We had some very tired kids by the time we went home...
Fortunately our car ride home was only about an hour and 20 minutes, so it wasn't too bad. Of course, the girls are ready to go back to this place again-anyday!
One interesting thing is a couple of months ago when we visited Berlin we went to the top of the TV tower and we could see Tropical Islands from there. These pictures probably don't really show the size, it is just too enormous.
