Day one on the Romantic Road


Today we began our journey down the Romantic Road, stopping at Tauberbischofsheim and Bad Mergentheim. They are both market towns with pretty town squares of 16th and 17th Century wooden topped houses and small palaces. The weather started to fold in so we had to dash between the showers, but managed to the sights. As it was Monday the attractions are all closed, however it was still nice just to wander around.
Big bonus in the first town, Tauberbischofsheim, managed to find a café on the main drag that sold 90 cent Espressos and 50 cent ice creams, and not too bad either!


Tonight we have reached Rothenburg and have parked up in a campervan parking lot right on the edge of the old city. A glance at the medieval walls and towers suggests we have a good day ahead of us tomorrow.
