This morning we woke with the sunrise and packed our bags leaving our lovely apartment, which amazingly had many quirks. Not one wall in the house was vertical, all lent one way or another, the floor sloped in all directions and was a different slope in each room. The floorboards were in some cases long slabs of timber, some as wide as 1 foot and they also appeared to bend as you walked across them. It may sound terrible, but it wasn't, it was exactly what we were after and gave us a wonderful insight into life in current Germany and also that of hundreds of years ago.
We decided to avoid the Autobahns today as when on them, there isn't much that can be seen other than freeway signs whizzing by along with blurs of cars doing well over 160km/h.
It was going to take us a little longer to go the back roads, about an hour in total, but with the sat nav providing the guidance we knew we were on the right path.
