A note first about this photo: surely enough of a reason to grant me a much deserved German and EU passport!We're back on the road today, heading for Wurzburg in Bavaria. It's the start of the 'romantic road' which according to Lonely Planet is dotted with cute Bavarian villages and definitely earns its cheezy title.
Last night we had dinner across the river at a little tavern called Fichte Kranze, which I have no idea what it means. We ate Frankfurt Schnitzel (comes with a yummy herb mayonnaise sauce) and drank the local speciality 'Ebbelwois' (applewine) also very good.
My attempts to order the food in German had the waiter impatiently asking if I wished to see the English menu! Though there are quite a few words in German that are the same in Afrkaans ('mond' for 'mouth, 'klein' for 'small') I have gotten into the habit of just using an Afrikaans word when I don't know the German, which has resulted in a lot of confused looks from Germans.
Anyway enough of my attempts to forge a new German dialect...we've put together a collection of pics from the last few weeks:
The Rhine and Koblenz
