It has rained all night and didn’t stop today until 2pm. It’s cold with it too. Having grumbled about the heat in Italy we are now grumbling about the damp here – we just prefer the heat! Rothenborg has an almost complete city wall that are covered by a roof, so we walked them today, followed by a visit to the Kriminal Museum which mostly dealt with instruments of torture.
After 3 hours of this ordeal we had a late lunch of oxtail soup and speck and eggs (it’s that kind of weather) and went back to the hotel to dry off.
We updated the blog and sent some postcards in the afternoon. We decided to refer to the Rough Guide regarding restaurants and, for a change, it came up trumps. The place we visited during the evening is called “Die Altfranckishe Weinstube” and what a great place. Dark and candlelit, with a menu of 6 pages of drinks and 1 of food, reminiscent of a traditional English pub, and so busy folk were being turned away. The food was of a standard we despaired of finding in Germany. Jane had pork loin on toast with creamy mushroom sauce and pear and cranberries, while Tony enjoyed tenderloin with mushrooms and home - made potato noodles. Shock! No food went into the bin! We had two glasses of wine and ein bier which came to €46.10. Made the day, really.
