Gefängnis und Elekt. Zentralkraftwerk- Feld 31 Zelle 3 und Feld 4 That is: Going to Jail and the Hydroelectric Station

Endlich. Die Schule hat angefangen und unsere DKT-Reise ist noch immer nicht vorbei. Doch am Montag den 25 September konnten wir unsere Reise abschließen. Wir fuhren als erstes ins Gefängnis. Ein paar alte Zellen die man besichtigen kann. Eine Frage an alle Schüler. Würdet ihr lieber eine Woche lang in einer alten Gefängiszelle verbringen wo man einen Nachttopf einen kleinen Ofen ein Bett ein paar alte Bücher und Besteck und eine Schüssel hat, oder würdet ihr eine Woche lang in der Schule mit guten Klos warmen Klassen gemütliche Sitze (vielleicht sogar ein Sofa) und gutes warmes Essen hat? Dafür hat man acht Stunden pro Tag Unterricht. Gebt mir mal eine Rückmeldung. Also, zuerst besuchten wir das Gefängnis. Da gibt es vier Zellen und nur die Zellen 4 und 3 kann man besichtigen.

Finally, the last portion of our tour.  Even though school has started and our holiday seems to have happened a long time ago, we still had to finish the game! The only things missing from our playing board were a visit to a jail and also to and electric power station.  First we decided to go to a jail.  Fortunately this didn't actually involve getting arrested!  A friend told us that the old jail in Windischgarsten, just 20 minutes from here, was in the same building as the library, back where they store things now, and that we could visit it during the week.  Going back through where normally the staff might go, we found ourselves passing from the brightly painted foyer of the library and into the dark, poorly-lit, unheated hallway where the old cells were.  Of the 4 cells there, only one was set up as it would have been years ago. There was a bed and a desk, a shelf for some educational books and a Bible, a bucket toilet (with a lid! ;-)), and a little woodstove for heat.  Along the wooden doorframe we could see where inmates had scratced little lines in to count the days of incarceration.  It was really interesting, seeing how it would have been set up.  And, as usual, taking photos was fun!

Die letzte Sache auf unserer Reise war letztendlich der Staudamm in Klaus. Feld 4.

Finally, our very last thing to visit- a Hydro-Electric Dam.  Where might we find that?  We tried to visit the really big one in Kaprun- especially since Dominik's grandfather helped to build the dam there.  But...it was a question of time.  We hadn't realised that in Kaprun you had to park well below the dam and then either pay a bunch to take a bus up to see it, or spend a good while hiking.  Unfortunately we were on our way to the Großglocknerstraße and couldn't take the time.  This was alright for me as I'd been given some new hiking shoes and they were, as I walked about, falling apart.  I was leaving bits of sole everywhere!  So, back to this visit.  We live in Klaus an der Pyhrnbahn here in Austria, and we are blessed to have a large dam and power station right here in Klaus.  From our flat we look out onto the lake created by the dam and when we get a lot of rain we can watch the water being shot off into the river from below the dam.  This was an easy one to get, in the end, and a nice way to end our tour.

So, unsere DKT-Reise ist nun beendet. Was ist das nächste? Eine Risiko-Reise? Eine DKT-Wien-Reise? Warscheinlich nicht. ;-) Unser nächster Blog wird frühestens in ein paar Wochen sein. Bis dahin.

So, our DKT Tour is finished.  What's next for us?  A Risk Tour?  That would be something.  Or how about a DKT-Vienna tour?  Not yet.  Our next adventure is something much bigger.  We're moving to Canada!  This will be a huge adventure for us and we'll start blogging on that, and maybe vlogging as well, shortly.  Thanks for joining us!  And if you want some updates, why don't you 'Follow' us?  We'll keep posting!
