After the war the town made a world wide plea for money to rebuild the part of the old city that was bombed. Everyone who donated money had their name set in the wall, these are just a couple, there were thousands.
Ancient toilets that dropped all the way down to the ground below...
Into St Johannas church for end of service and Tony took a little video. Then St Jacobs with its twin towers and the wooden carving of the Last Supper and the Altar of the Holy Blood.
Past a traditional cake shop that made 'snowball' biscuits covered in icing, had to try the local treat.......very sweet....
Went into a cafe for hot coffee to try to warm up, it was very cold, even when the sun did come out there was still a chill in the air.
By 2.30 we decided we had done pretty well and covered a large part of the town, so went back to Bessie after a hot cuppa decided to go onto Wurzburg. Most of the motorhomes had left the car park so thought we would too.
Got diesel at €1.12 €40 worth 36 ltrs. Romantic Road signs few and far between...with 3 parallel roads, it's easy to come off and on and we felt as if we were zig zag around a bit, through pretty green cointryside and little villages with churches, churches everwhere....Tony said he felt 'in spired '.....heehee. Vineyards as far as the eye could see on the hillsides through Lauda-Konigshafen and Tauberbischofsheim ........what names.
Finally decided to just get to Wurzburg , found site in large campsite on the banks of the river Main, very pretty spot After quite a frustrating afternoon drive.
