Last day in Germany








We spent some more time in Rothenburg as well as explored the Romantic Road tourist route to the north. Note the integrity of the fabulous walled cities walls. You can walk the old military installation in the walls for some great views. This last pic shows some of the detailed engravings in the timber framed homes. The Germans have been very warm and friendly ....and helpful. Shopping here was so much easier than France....not that France was bad, just here you don't need to worry about translations etc, as they smile and want to help....generally the kids get given lollies at any shop you buy from which is a nice touch. I will miss the German beers....that come in 500mL bottles (haven't seen anything smaller) and their slabs contain 20 beers which start at about 8 euro for the slab!!! Remarkable. And when you order a beer from a pub....it comes in a huge glass....often 1L in size....what are they thinking?? Will miss the fairytale towns of Bavaria.
