When Sean was here for the christening we took a little road trip down the Rhine, mainly from Koblenz (picture to the left) down to Wiesbaden. The weather was pleasant and we stopped for the most important tourist attractions such as the famous Loreley or Rüdesheim, an old village with vineyards and a cablecar.
We also stopped to see an old friend of Eileen's, Alex, who hadn't seen Sean in years. It was great meeting her and she welcomed us with a home-made cake! We spend an afternoon with her and only took one picture unfortunately...
Our last stop before Nürnberg was another famous old German town called Rothenburg on der Tauber. The best part was that you can walk along the old city wall and see the old town from an unusual angle. We also made the mistake to walk into the center but after seeing crowds of tourists and endless shops selling 'typical German things' we escaped back to our wall...
great photos! did you take the one of the Loreley?

AntwortenLöschenI'm so happy that:
AntwortenLöschen1) you have a blog
2) you have confirmed that a wall surrounds Rothenburg on der Taube. I went there during a trip to Germany (I was in the center of the town with the tourists and the 6,000 nutcrackers). This took place when I was 9 and I have vivid memories of the wall that nobody in my family shares. :(
