Day 2. ME at THE RING...that little Renault and I, we went through a lot together.
Day 3. St. Goar on the Rhine, almost as cute as Bacharach, where we stayed. When you´ve seen one 1000-year old German river village, you´ve seen ém all
Day 4. Wonderful Heidelberg
Day 5. Sinsheim museum in Baden-Wurttemburg. LOTS of big boy toys, including this one, which I first saw almost 20 years ago to the day
BUT the car I REALLY came to see...a TRABANT. It has taken me almost as long to SEE one of these as it took East Germans to acquire them. Now we know why Erich Hönacker eventually gave up on communism. He wanted a new car
Day 6.Sharon and Susanne Lagler went off looking at palaces, while I spent the day looking at...
Sharon just didn´t know what she was missing...
Day 7: Stuttgart. And one week of perfect weather.
Day 8: Freiburg in Schwarzwald. This is the Münster, a monstrous cathedral, with one-way spiral staircase up to the spire. No kidding, if someone is coming down, you have to reverse. I estimate it is approximately 20 stories. Most fascinating feature, builder´s chisseled graffiti from as early as 16th century.
Freiburg. Waiting for bratwurst
Day 9. Schwarzwald. Rowing Lake Titisee
Days 9 and 10; Meersburg on Lake Constance. Yes there is a castle in there . Two, actually.
Beautiful frescos inside a church on Mainau Island, Lake Constance
