... to cruise along in the center lane but not fast enough to avoid passers who'd rocket by like jet engines on the left. Being a Merwin, I found the one free parking lot in town, and it was next to a free bathroom. Boo Ya!<br><br>The altstadt is walkable and surrounded by the city wall, so you can't really get lost. You can walk up well worn stairs and stroll around on the city wall. We played peeping toms and peered into all the gardens and out across the Tauber ...

... It's beautiful and charming but ask me in a few hours when the Elderhostel tour buses and their occupants have sent me over the edge. Anyway. My goal today is to discover the deliciousness of something called "schneeballs." They look chocolate and fried and should go great with beer.<br><br>Well that's all for now- I am in a tourist office that gives me 15 minutes free internet access and I have to steal it where I can get it. Auf Weidershen :)

... waiting to go souvenir shopping until now, so I wouldn&#8217;t have to cart around the **** all week. It was a good plan. We, yes Erin actually bought some STUFF, took full advantage of the many streets of shops, and the Rick Steves recommended gift shop behind the town hall was a good bargain; we both bought fancy beer steins and other odds and ends there. Erin even got a FREE (1.40E value) painted map of town, after the proprietor asked her if she was doing the ...

After a night on the plane and not much sleep, we arrived in Frankfurt. At the airport we found a storage place for our luggage at a cost of 5 &#8364; per bag per 24 hours. We now could travel with very little luggage for the next two days. What a treat! Of course Dave wasn't thinking and forgot his razor.<br><br>We hurried to the train station that is at the airport and caught a fast train to Stuttgart. We needed to ...

... in the world). There is a food booth and some kind of buy a ticket get a prize raffle. We will be back here for lunch.<br><br>We drive down to the Castle of Schullingsfurst. I thought we could walk, lucky we drove as it is a long way. There is an entrance fee, 1-to see Falconries, 2-castle, or 3-both. We had just wanted to see the outside of the castle, so we buy the ticket for the Falconries. This is an incredible show, more that we ...

... br><br>We go to look at the castle and decide to go through it. We are given a guide book in English to follow and are taken to meet up with a group that has just left 5 minutes before us. Now, this is a really nice castle. Everything is as it was, nothing was removed during the war and it remained empty for over 200 years.<br><br>The castle was the traditional ...

So, today is the big day, only 2 hours left and my family is going to drive me to Frankfurt and then my flight to Bangkok via Dubai is leaving at 10p.m. (Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!)<br>But as I'm still not packed and really excited I'm not goint to write that much, only that I'm really looking forward to the trip and hope to tell you guys many nice and interesting stories :)<br>So, here you soon from Bangkok!!<br>Adios :)<br><br>Marta<br>

On Sunday we worked on our case study in the morning, and basically did the whole thing. it was hard to make the powerpoint coz they didn't have powerpoint but had openoffice instead, and the whole thing was in german. it went ok tho.<br><br>we presented the case to Johan Fitz, it went well.<br><br>after we had a wine tasting, and all got a bit loose. but in a civilised way. the best wine was the Eis Wein. This one can only ...

... damp and very slippery. We got our bikes parked in the hotel garage and checked into Hotel Tilman Riemenschneider. What an elegant old hotel; well above my usual class of lodging. Our room was really nice and the food (Trout dinner and Apple Strudle Dessert) was simply superb. We went to the night watchman's tour and walked around the city for a while afterward. We would really like to spend a couple of days here, but tomorrow morning we are off to Heidelberg.

... of historical importance. Apparently military maps have these too, the hope is that the attackers will not choose to bomb these first... only at first of course. Pre-war and post-war pictures of the castle were quite sobering, it's no wonder they use those 'DO NOT BOMB' signs. So much of the castles and historical landmarks were destroyed and rebuilt that it's shocking. There are some good stories to go with the Castle pictures so it's best if you just pull the pics up and read ...
