We arrived in Frankfurt and drove to our hotel in Landstuhl -- Schloss Hotel (which means "Castle Hotel" because you can walk to the Landstuhl castle)
We headed for Belgium! It was an adventure!
We were driving through crazy construction and a lot of exits were closed... we got off at a small town in search of a bathroom... and found NOTHING. I asked a local man who was working on his car where there was a bathroom and found myself in his house using his bathroom! CRAZINESS!
We stopped in Trier at Porta Nigra.
Then we drove through Luxembourg, hit terrible traffic... and arrived in Arlon in search of chocolates ... TOO LATE. Everything was closed. We wandered down the street and found the shop Scott had visited before and stood staring in the windows... When Chi Sun spotted the owner walking around the back. She knocked on the window, and lo and behold -- she came and opened up the shop for us! (Good for her because she made over 100 Euros for five minutes work!)
At the suggestion of some friends,we drove on to Rothenburg ob der Tabor, an historical walled city.... where we walked around the charming cobbled streets admiring...
The next day we visited the Landstuhl Castle which was fantastic!
These carved stumps were hidden along the walk between our hotel and the castle
We also visited Heidelberg and Heidelberg castle with our group of friends
Then we headed back to Frankfurt to fly out. The trip was a whirlwind of amazing!
