Dear Francesca and Liam,

Today we were in Karlsruhe and we went to the museum which is in the old castle. In the morning, we had a look around the museum and then had something to eat at the restaurant there. It started raining while we were in the museum so we had to run to the restaurant.

In the afternoon, we went to see an archaeologist in the museum and she let me examine the instrument there. It is part of an Etruscan lituus. It’s not a big piece but it was really interesting to look at it. I made a lot of measurements and took a lot of photos. Afterwards, she asked us if we wanted to see the Music Exhibition in the museum and gave us two tickets to get in for free. That was interesting too. There were instruments from all over Germany and quite a lot of music written by people like Mozart. It was starnge to see the actual pages which he had written himself.

Altogether, it was a very interesting day.

Well hope you two are OK, we’ll keep you in touch,
Night, night and lots of love,
Grandma and Grandad xxxx
