Night in Rothenburg

We left for the little German town of Rothenburg right after dad left school on Thursday. We drove the 2 hours south to the German state of Bavaria and begun our trip through the romantic Germany.

This town is a mideval walled city that has many tourist. We stayed at a cute little German bed and breakfast. Soon after we arrived, we walked the wall around the city before we had to make our dinner reservation.

We ate dinner and went on the Night Watchman Tour. This tour has been given by George, the Night Watchman, for 17 years in Rothenburg. The tour shows how a Night Watchman would protect the town from things such as fire, invasion, etc. during the sleeping hours of the evening. You walk with George around the town starting at 8 p.m. and he gives you the history of the town and a little taste of what it would be like for a night watchman in the 16th century.

George, the Night Watchman, is a really funny guy. So, we took a picture with him.

After a good nights rest, we left the next day for Garmisch-Partenkichen.
