When in Germany.. do as the Germans do!
Will not be doing this in Aus! Crusing at 150km was the norm - and always slow down when the speed signs are shown!May 17th
We finally made it to the German border and the famous Autobahn. Pete proved his manhood and reached speeds of over 200 kilometres per hour at one stage but progressed at an average speed of 160 k/p/m. Extreme Pete rocks!!!!
We spent the night in Rorhenburg..a beautiful medieval walled city. 40 percent of the city was destroyed in WWII but has been restored to a charming village. It has many christmas shops one of which was like walking into a fairytale. Room after room of christmas trees and decorations and displays. Pete said I was like a kid in a candy shop.
We found a BnB to stay in...or rather it found us. There are so many places to choose from. We loved this town and would recommend it to anyone.
May 18th we headed to Berlin via Nuremberg. We only had a quick stop-off at the Nuremberg documentation museum where the Nazis held their parades for Hitler pre-WWII. The place made me feel quite emotional because of the historical presentations on display. We would have liked more time here but Berlin is still 4 hours away (or 3.5 depending on lead-foot Pete's mood).
