Rothenburg

I am writing this from the train to Amsterdam...quite a long ride but
we are almost there.

We left Munchen/Munich mid-morning and arrived in Rothenburf Around 2
and had enough time to rumble our suitcases through the cute medieval
town, check in, do a self guided tour, and walk the old old old wall.
We loved it! The entire countryside had snow on it, and we enjoyed
getting local specialties from the bakeries and cramming them in our
mouths while watching the white forest below.

After another fantastic German meal (we both had Scnitzel which is
technically Austrian) we walked to the main square for the
Nightwatchman's tour! The guy has done it for 17 years and must enjoy
it! He took everyone who gathers on an hour tour with history, facts,
stories, and lots of laughs. We both enjoyed it and laughed when we
saw him later doing a German version.

We ended the night at a wine bar in a cute old house, tried Pear and
Plum brandy, and were in bed by 11.

This morning we saw the Nedieval Crime and Punishment Museum, a
chilling collection of artifacts that make me happy to live in the
21st century! Next we grabbed our bags and headed to the train station.

We also are celebrating out 12th anniversary today and tomorrow!!!
We'll have a late meal because the train is late...but it will be a
good one!

Tschüß!!!

Happy Anniversary!

Enjoy your time in Amsterdam, wish I were there. I did the nightwatchman tour a couple years ago and really enjoyed it as well.

Looking forward to hearing more.
