Taking the Bus to Storm the Castle

"I shouldnt have had those two bran muffins and three cups of soy milk before I got on this bus"

Falling Walls

2011-12-28T13:28:00.000-08:00

The Knight was relieved that the Wall had fallen before he arrived, it meant more time for basking in the winter warmth and enjoying the sunset....just don't tell the other Knights that he decided to take a vacation from storming castles!

House Hunting

2011-12-19T08:56:00.000-08:00

Ignoring his Grandmothers advice, the Knight decided that it just might be worth it to spend his €5 in one place!

Black Friday

2011-11-26T00:22:00.001-08:00

The brave Knight had given up. There were no used carriages in all the land. The Knight, defeated, resorted to Black Friday shopping.

The first option might be a little too high-speed for the Black Forest, well, at least if it ever works traveling through hyperspace...though....it did come with a Princess....

And then he stumbled on carriages from the motherland, and the Knight smiled.

Panthers or Panzers?

2011-11-25T01:44:00.000-08:00

As Knight Urqhart dashed out to the woods to fight the panthers he started to wonder if he had heard the other Knights correctly, after all, panthers were a mythical creature not found in the forests of Europe.

Then he saw the sign, he was actually on the World War II "Panzer" tank trail...

Carriage or stallion?

2011-11-25T01:42:00.000-08:00

....perfect for castle storming and general mayhem, it has a gunner turret, its army green, it looks hardy...the Knight just wondered if he could find enough phone books to see above the steering wheel!

U-bahn or Stallion?

2011-11-25T01:40:00.002-08:00

Poor Knight. How was he ever supposed to use the U-bahn* if the ticket was larger than he was? He had a sneaky feeling that the other Knights played a joke on him when they said he would not need a carriage. Maybe he would go look for a new stallion after all....

*"Bahn" is a train, U-bahn is mainly in the city, and S-bahn goes to the suburbs. They are very easy to use and navigate, even if you dont know German...well unless you are a lego character, then it gets a little tricky.

Quest Preperations

2011-11-25T01:40:00.001-08:00

....drats, bested by the bottle opener. Hopefully this is not a sign of things to come for the brave Knight Urquhart.

Comfort

2011-11-25T01:37:00.000-08:00

If the rest of the Knights could see this hotel they would give up on storming castles and stick with comfort, thought the brave Knight Urguhart as he settled in for the night.

Still Trying to Start the Quest...

2011-11-25T01:35:00.000-08:00

The brave Knight Urquhart bid adieu to the US. Though excited to return to the forests filled with dragons and castles, he was sure he would miss avocado's on his burgers.

The Quest Begins...

2011-11-25T01:33:00.000-08:00

As the famed Knight of Urquhart Castle prepared for his departure, he voiced frustration that his cell phone would not work. Once again he felt validated in lobbying to keep carrier pigeons, even though he was out voted by the other Knights.
