Nordlingen to Rothenburg ob der Tauber – 19 July 2011



We had an easy run from Nordlingen – we set off just after 8.00 and were sorted with a hotel by 11.00.  Hotel Rappen.  Spent another 3 hours walking around.  This is a more authentic and intact walled town and consequently attracts more tourists.  Nevertheless it is very interesting.  We spent an hour in a toy museum and then went to the Christmas Shop!  A nightmare grotto of Christmas decorations and so expensive – some costing hundreds of euros.  Had to come out after 10 minutes as it put us off Christmas!

Snack for lunch and then another amble taking photos.  Sorted out clothes and car and generally tidied up.  No internet access in room – range problems.  We planned the next few days travelling and now plan to be in France again for the weekend or Monday.

Drifted around town looking for a restaurant and finally chose one connected to a Hotel where Jane had roast shoulder of pork and Tony had 7 local sausages!  Was very tasty.  Could have done without the sauerkraut and potato dumplings though.  Back to the Hotel by about 10 for a cup of tea!
