Day 5 Rothenburg
Note:I am having issues with getting my pictures to my iPad from my android phone tonight. The phone's pictures were not small enough, so I am reducing the size and emailing them in batches to my ipad. The internet, or something, is blocking me/causing the email to fail. I have been doing this over wifi, each night st the hotel. It is nearly 12:30 and we need to head to bed. I will try to edit this tomorrow. I have a ton of pictures to share.
Another foggy day that burned off by lunch. I have lots of pictures inside Wilhelmsthal. Apparently pictures are not usually allowed. So, without further ado... pictures.
We then went to Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe, it was quite foggy, so no view of Hercules.
Afterwards, we had a lovely lunch at Gutshof Restaurant.
Now the long trip to Rothenburg! The ride was long but the guides did a decent job of entertaining us, and they played Ella Enchanted. I watched the second episode from Outlander. My only complaint is they played the volume a tiny bit loud...but I was in the window seat under the speaker, and the aisle seat was much lower. Perhaps anyone complaining previously on other
ABD trips might try the aisle seat. I have noise cancelling headphones, it was fine.
Our room is in the front of the hotel...I love quirky hotels and this one qualifies! Lots of cool antiques and strange small wooden doors...what an awesome place! Except the bed is nearly on the floor. I am short and I sink down into the bed. My knees are nearly at my chest. This is crazy....but I can deal with it for 2 nights. It seems like it is missing the boxspring.
There are no washcloths here, and I always use one...wish I knew that...I would have brought one from home. Seems like a strange amenity to miss to me. Apparently it is not a common amenity?
We had a great dinner at the Ratsstube. It was good. No issues with food quality or portion size for the whole trip.
The night watchman is next...good stories, good night time activity. It finished with a small bottle of wine per person, as a surprise. We had a Fanta option, so non drinkers were not left out. I am very pleased by this. I do not drink wine or beer typically. I will try samples and I am still trying to find one I like, but it has not happened yet.... I feel left out sometimes when employers give wine bottles as gifts, or at weddings where the bride and groom have bottles of wine as favors.
The fact that Disney had something for us non drinkers made me feel special, and they have not disappointed me at all. Speaking of food and drink..alcohol is available at a few meals. The food has been excellent. The portions are larger then I expected. There are lots of fried food. Bread is everywhere. The guides work with you so well. We have a couple folk with food sensitivitie/allergies and they have made sure to have not just options for them..but Good food choices!
I am a picky eater. I have certain foods that I can not eat. There are other foods I just do not like. I have mind ibd, and I have certain food combinations that I need to avoid. I do not like people hovering over me making sure I have something to eat. I know what I can have, want to have and can't have. ..no hovering please. I do not like these things pointed out or cause problems.
"Hallo" from Heidelberg! (Picture of the holy spirt church and marketplatz.)
I am having an issue uploading pictures. Apparently the limit is 2 mgs. This was a building next to a church with a beautiful white interior. I will try to figure out how to get larger pictures up later when I am at the hotel.
) that I understood that the bus couldn't make it up to the entrance, but we should have had golf carts! That was a rough walk - especially when we did it a few times to go eat in town or sightsee! 
Now *I* feel left out!
