Pile Dwellings Part III

We find our protagonists strolling in the late afternoon sun across the road from the Pestenacker prehistoric museum

NS: "So on the map you printed out the WHS seems to be in the middle of those fields"

IC: "That must be it there, in those big agricultural looking sheds"

NS: "Maybe it is an archaeological dig"

IC: "Yeah it must be, perhaps we've accidentally hit the pile dwelling jackpot!"

NS: "Hmm... my sodden shoes would suggest otherwise"

IC: "Onwards then..."

NS: "I must admit it feels a little creepy, really like we shouldn't be here."

IC: "Is it the lack of signs and pathways, or in fact any tangible evidence of this not being a farm that make you think that."

NS: "Well these buildings could we reveal wondrous secrets"

Our protagonists walk around large shed like structure.

NS: "Erm..."

IC: "Well I don't think it is an archaeological dig."

NS: "Is that...? Is that a beach hut?"

IC: "Yep I think so, that would also explain the sand on the floor I guess."

NS: "I think that was once a swimming pool"

IC: "Where?"

NS: "Erm that sort of ditch in front of the beach hut."

IC: "Oh"

NS: "Erm..."

IC: "Have we stumbled into a derelict German rave?"

NS: "This discarded hat behind the bar would indicate yes."

IC: "And yep that must be the DJ booth."

NS: "Hmm."

Our protagonists stroll around the wooden shacks and weed laden sand

NS: "I now have more questions than answers. Was the rave themed on pile dwellings or are the pools and wooden huts just coincidental?"

IC: "Why, considering all the farmland, did they hold it directly over the WHS? There aren't any roads"

NS: "Or paths, slightly baffling"

IC: "Well I have my souvenir, a rather mucky plastic beaker confirming that we are at the Archaeological remains of the Pestenacker Pool Party. Well I'm guessing that isn't it official name on the World Heritage List."

NS: "... Anyway, time to head off for a celebratory pint?"

IC: "Yep, onward, I know somewhere nice."
