Day 52 14/5/06 - Germany

Augsburg -> Donauworth -> Nordlingen ->Dinkelsbuhl ->Feuchwangen -> Rothenburg o.d.t. -> Wurzburg

Highlight

• Driving through this section of the Romantic Road is a lot like driving through Tuscany, but with better roads and less tourists.
• Each town has medieval walls and towers, a central gothic style church, cafes and horse-drawn carriage.
• Lucky for us, the rain died down.
• My favourite town is Rothenburg o.d.t (even though it was very touristy) because of the quirky shops, including the Christmas shops and the fantastic views of the countryside. You can walk along the old city fortifications as well.
• The look on Slokky's face when we climbed up the 'Daniel' tower at Nordlingen. The view from the top was good too.
• Trying heaps and heaps of different cakes at heaps and heaps of different cafes.
• Residence at Wurzburg is an UNESO heritage listed building. The landscaped garden was absolutely stunning.
• Taking a really long walk up the hill to the fortress at Wurzburg. more wonderful views of the several churches, buildings with huge roofs.
• My G&M (Gin and Mango!) tastes really good, unfortunately I learnt too late to replace water with gin, as it was our very last night in Europe.
• Our hotel was great, we stayed in a German style attic, but it meant climbing a lot of stairs with our luggage.
