This morning we looked around the town we stayed in called Shrobenhausen. It wasn\u2019t a fancy old town like the ones we saw in Eastern Europe, but it was still quite nice. We did a walk about the old town walls, which were still in-tact in places. This town was built on a Roman road that went from Rome to the Danube. It got granted it\u2019s market rights in the 13th century and that\u2019s when it started to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One thing I love about Germany is pretzels. Those twirly sticks of bread with salty bursts of delight, a perfect treat for breakfast, lunch or dinner. And I\u2019ve been fattening myself with them since I got here. Now we just need to find some schnitzel and spatzle, and my food tour is complete!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We spent the morning looking around the town, then went back to the van for a bacon and egg bap, a simple Sunday lunch. Then the afternoon was spent working on a video, and sleeping, and playing Chess. Mike thinks I\u2019ve lost the plot as I have named all my pieces individually, including the prawns, and I give them little pep talks. And he was most upset when Pinky the Prawn took his horse, then got promoted to guarding the king in the next game. Maybe I have lost the plot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And then the lightening and thunder came, so we decided we\u2019d stay another night in the carpark. We\u2019ve only got 12 days left to get back to the UK, so we probably better get moving!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
