June 6 Rottenberg ob der Tauber

Sun! Slept in a bit, had breakfast and set off for the museum of Medieval Crime and Justice. There were some gruesome products and information. For example, if a baker made his bread not heavy enough, he could be dunked in a steel cage into the spring, summer or winter. Apparently, there was not much cheating in the winter time, I wonder why? From here we continued our walking tour around the town, had some lunch and caught a guided walking tour at 2. After this, I said it was time for an apfel strudel so we stopped for a cafe, apfel strudel, schneeballen(snow ball is the local specialty) and some ice cream for Carl. Ha, you thought I was going to say beer, didn't you? The snow ball is made of strips of pie dough loosely rolled into a ball, deep fried and dusted with sugar or chocolate or something else sweet. I would not recommend this treat but we had to try at least one small one. After all the sweets, we had to get our butts moving so we walked around the rest of the city wall until dinner time. We had a fantastic schnitzel for dinner and headed for the Night Watchmen tour. This was recommended by Rick Steves who apparently shows up here once a year. The guy was hilarious as he told tales of the town's history. What a way to make a living! Time to call it a night. Travel day tomorrow.
