Mid-August one of my good, dear friends from High school days and her husband dropped by for a quick visit. It wasn't quite long enough, but we were able to pack a lot in! One of the things that I have wanted to do for a long time is the night-watchman's tour at Rothenburg o.d.t. It gets rave reviews by all, and it just so happened that my friend wanted to do this too. So we all went.
My friends hubby was so awesome...the kids loved him. He packed around my kids all day for me!
Rothenburg o.d.t. is a great, old, medieval city. Parts of it date back to 1000a.d., and some claim to date back before. What I love about it, is the atmosphere. All the buildings are jammed up on each other, and then surrounded by an in tact city wall...that you can walk along!
The golden gryphon is where we had dinner that night.
We also toured the crime and punishment museum where we learned interesting facts like punishments for bakers for not baking bread in uniform loaves.
Here is Hunter looking at his future time-out chair...
Anya in her time-out...
Our night-watchmen.
He takes you around the village, giving you a brief tour and explanation of what life was like living here in medieval times. He spoke perfect English!
Blurry, but you can see part of the city wall peaking out from the trees. We were standing on another section of the wall on the other side of the gorge.
It was an awesome experience! I definitely recommend it if you are in Bavaria and want to take a nightwatchman's tour!
