Germany Part 1

This post has been a long time coming and hopefully I will get the other highlights of our trip added soon. 

So wayyyyy back in October now we took a trip to Germany for Stuart and Rachael's wedding (Richards brother).  After spending forever making the decision to travel for a little while after the wedding I finally put together an itinerary for the short few days.  After starting in Frankfurt we made our first trip down to Hohenschwangau where there are some beautiful castles.  On the days drive we stopped off at Rothenburg od der Tauber which was a quaint little town surrounded by medieval walls and towers.  We wandered round the town for a while taking in the atmosphere and eating some traditional cinnamon dough balls.



A view of the town walls, you can just see them along with some towers close to the horizon.



One of my favourite little houses in Rothenburg, they all looked like this but this one stood out because of the flowers.



An abandoned well on the outskirts of the town.



One of the many turrets that surround the town, this one divided the town from a small park area that we walked around.



My favourite house appearing again!



Its was the middle of October when we visited and all of the shop windows and doorways were lined with carved pumpkins. I think I might try something simple like this next year.



Evie and Daddy trying to play hide and seek in the vines. It might have worked if the leaves were still there.

 

A quick break before jumping back in to the car for another few hours before we reached Hohenschwangau
