Day 13 - Rothenburg ob der Tauber

July 11, 2014 - Germany

In the early a.m. I was sitting in the breakfast room catching up on work as it was a payroll day. I looked out the window and saw the misty hills greeting me.  

Much better on the soul than the traffic jam we ended up in on the autobahn on our way to Rothenburg ob der Tauber.  We were basically at a standstill for two hours.

We finally made it to Rothenburg, a medieval city that has been maintained throughout the centuries. This is the view from our room.

Our first stop was dinner at the pub after checking in to our room above. Three flights up on the top floor right in the middle of old town. Cory and I are in search of a sauerkraut to match the great flavour found at the Crowsnest Restaurant in Cawston, BC. So far no luck.

We chose to go on the Nightwatchmen's walking tour in the evening. This man is very entertaining and so informative at the same time. During the tour the sun came out at just the right time to showcase a portion of the city.
