Our next stop was Rothenburg ob der Tauber which is a preserved medieval town in Bavaria. It is quite small and is completely walled around. According to Rick Steve's it will kill you with cuteness and it did! Once you drive through the wall you feel transported back in time! The buildings are beautiful, so clean and well kept, and the food was great! We got there early while it was drizzling so we decided to wall the city wall so the kids could stretch their legs. The views from the top of the wall were amazing!

| Hams! |
 |
| View down one of the streets |
 |
| Bella and daddy! |
 |
| She was so excited to find this bear! |
 |
| The famous Schneeballs (I didn't not like them as I thought they tasted like stale fried dough, but Bella loved them) |
 |
| Outside of St. Jakobskirche (Church of St. Jacob). This sculpture was stunning! |
 |
| Outside the famous Käthe Wohlfahrt store |
 |
| This is a famous building shown in many pictures of Rothenburg |
After some wondering, I took Zerek back for a nap and Sean took Bella to the
Käthe Wohlfahrt Christmas museum. You can't take pictures but click on the link to see how awesome it is (Inside the store).
Kriminalmuseum - We had some time to kill before dinner so we headed to the Crime and Punishment Museum which was really cool!!! The kids loved everything. (
The Museum Page) We could not take pictures so click on the link to check it out. It was really reasonably priced and a great 2ish hour thing to do.
We stayed at an awesome hotel (
Gasthof Greifen) that had some amazing food!!!
 |
| Beer...yum |
 |
| Huge potato dumpling was so good! |
 |
| The sauce with this was to die for!!!! |
While the kids went to bed with Sean I set out to take part in the Nightwatchman Tour, which was really awesome! It was such a beautiful night and you walk around the city with the tour guide learning all about the history of the town. The guide is hilarious and I would highly recommend it if you stay the night (
The Nightwatchman)! This place turns amazing at Christmas time so we are hoping to go back next year!
