We arrived in Karlstadt and after breakfast we got on a bus to Rothenburg about 1 ½ hours drive away passing through some lovely countryside. We spent most of the day there while a guide showed us the sights of this medieval town which still exists behind a fortress wall with towers at regular intervals just as it did in those times. It has people living in the town, so is not just a “museum”. There are shops and a beautiful town square. It is renowned for its shopping, particularly for its Käthe Wohlfahrt Christmas Museum which was a wonderland of Christmas “stuff” which was so plentiful it was difficult to make choices. We had lunch at a restaurant which had as its main course the local sausages with sauerkraut and mashed potatoes. It was delicious but too much to eat at lunchtime. We enjoyed some free time walking around, checking our emails at the internet cafe and then got back on the bus. There was a storm and got very dark as we headed back to our boat which was now moored at Wűrzburg. We got on board, beating the heavy rain and then I did some washing – some mundane things still have to be done on holidays.
We had a lovely dinner as we continued cruising down the tranquil Main River.
