Rothenburg, Germany
After a good night’s sleep, we wake up to a beautiful sunny
morning. As we get ready and decide what
we’re going to do, the thunderstorms start and last most of the morning. It starts to breakup around noon, so we
borrow the hotel’s umbrellas and take off on foot to walk the wall of the
city. There are gun turrets all along
the wall and towers in strategic locations.
One can only imagine the battles fought atop the wall to save the city
from outside forces.
After descending the wall, we walk more around the
city: going to a bank to exchange pounds
for euros; printing our photos; getting a light snack at one of the cafes; and
then walking back to our hotel via the outside walkway along the vineyards. It’s time now to get ready for dinner which
we decide to have at our own hotel tonight.
Tomorrow we’ll check out and leave Rothenburg behind on our way to Bavaria and Salzburg.
