We are now in a series of towns and cities that are part of the 355 km section of the Bavaria that are named 'The Romantic Road.' We have spent an incredible 4 days here and, believe me when I say, we needed the peace and quiet after Cologne.
We are in a pension which is much nicer and more endearing than a hotel. Marcus, our owner, is a sweetheart and he serves us with a smile and with a most gentle manner. He is as tall as Gerhard and looks pretty similar. We tease them when they stand together. We met two Amercian travellers here who are from the state of Washington. Lovely people - we gave them our card - hope to see them again.
The city of Würzburg dates way back to the 8th century with most things beginning to happen around the 11th century. A beautiful place that suffered some distruction during the war but has not lost its beauty. Quiet streets, quaint corners and pubs and castles all serve to remind us that our lives have started very late in the world. Here, things were rolling long before I was even thought of.
We move from here to Rothenburg tomorrow by train. Gerhard has no idea of what he is walking into but this town and the one tomorrow are my two favourite places to stay. It will be like a fairytale story. Small, quiet and walled in. No cars really, just walkways and places to smell the fresh air. This will be our last stop for a few days before we head off to Franfurt Hahn airport to catch our Ryan Air flight to Spain.
Cheers for now.
Tschussssssss
