Tomorrow we leave this very pretty place that feels like we have stepped out of the world into a painted book. The buildings are dated around 1100 onwards and the town in circled by a high wall and a deep moat. We have been staying in a inexpensive pension - we are the only ones there - and that feels very strange. Things are very quiet for us and we have been having a wonderful rest. We head back to the room for a rest each afternoon and pretend that we are actually Germans who take a "pause."
We took a nighttime walk with a local Nightwatchman who told of us of all the good and the bad of times back then. We also had an interesting 2 hour tour of the Criminal Museum where we saw all of the actual torture items used in the time of this town. Gerhard is threatening to use some of them on me if I don't stop bugging him- like the iron mask with the long pinnochio nose for liars.
We leave tomorrow by train for Frankfurt Hahn to catch the RyanAir flight out to Madrid on Thursday. Good news to us by our travel lady - all of our booked bus trips have come through. Tomorrow, however, we need to rearrange our bags as the cheaper flights of RyanAir are very strict about weight and baggage.
Off to Spain ------- and sorry about this-----the warmer weather.
Love J and G
