Another week has passed and we are getting closer to finish the whole kitchen. After telling my team we will have a big BBQ in the end of the week if they finish all work they started to work even harder. We started every day at 8am and worked until 7.30pm! The progress was visible every single day.

As promised I organized a big BBQ with a whole pig, a goat and some beer for my team. While I prepared the food, the team went on working very hard

Motivation arrived on friday noon. We slaughtered a pig for them…

…and prepared a traditional bavarian suckling pig.

Saturday morning the walk to the BBQ place

Fire is burning already

They’ve never seen a whole pig turning over a fire

Nevertheless work was going on

Later a goat joined the pig. We had 25 men working hard and being hungry

anticipation is big

Ready for the big meal. 25 craftsmen which worked the last 2 month with me were waiting for their food
Today I had a last chance to hike in the mountains and enjoy the great view over the national park and the beautiful area
