Drive to Rothenburg

Monday, April 23

We have another delightful breakfast and say goodbye to our wonderful hosts. We are on our way to Fussen to visit the old city that we haven't seen yet. The church and old town hall are very interesting. The streets are cobbled and shops are interesting. We spend about two hours then are back in the car on the autobahn toward Rothenberg. We pull off into a roadside rest area to eat our sandwiches that we made at breakfast. It's a two and a half hour drive but I figure out how to hook up the blue tooth and then we have music!



Our hotel is in the inner city but we find it fairly easily and we have a parking space. The hotel manager is delightful. He even shared a bier with us! We think he even worked in the convention business of all things. Our room is in the third floor but very comfortable once we get the bags up.

Time to eat as our small lunch has worn off. We find a little bar restaurant that looks chancy but the food turns out to be inexpensive and delicious. We start with an onion soup. Then have a pork cutlet with a mushroom cream sauce and sauerbraten with red cabbage and potato dumplings. And a couple of beers of course!

We finish just in time to catch the Watchman's 8:00 English tour. It has just stopped raining so everything is damp and fresh and there is a chill in the air. Tour is great. Lots of history and insights into the town told with a bit of drama.
