A very quiet and warm night. The banhof had long since been used - the Worlitz Park was no longer the big attraction. We had an early breakfast so we could visit the very extensive park and gardens before it became too hot.

Parked up near the gardens and took a leisurely wander - perhaps not at its best due to the dry summer but some very interesting views across the lakes. The park was developed in the late 1700s and has been park of the UNESCO bio region.

As the sun climbed into the southern sky ( yes in the northern hemisphere it is in the southern sky!) we headed out for Orangienbaum, a purpose designed town back you know when by you know who ( Princess Henriette Catharina of the house of Orange).

| Schloss at Orangienbaum |
Yes you guessed it - the orange tree became the symbol of the town. The Orangery is 178 m long being very unique in Europe. But it had nothing in it!!! The the Schloss Park was not at its best ! Perhaps a spring time visit would see it in all it's glory. The Schloss itself was in the stage of being repaired. All UNESCO listed!!!

Spent much of the day relaxing under some large trees in Orangienbaum before moving onto Brandenburg for our evening.
