Day 41: The Romantic Road

<photos and more details to come>

Today was a travel day, again. Our plan was to drive from Rothenburg ob der Tauber to München (Münich).  But first, after breakfast, we sought out the local ropes course (Kletterwald) and spent several hours in the woods climbing, zip lining and so forth. Amelia did not climb, but rather served as photographer/videographer.  It's clear the Nilselids are very good at ropes courses and Andy got the hang of it very quickly (all that police training in the Air Force put to good use!).

We learned lots about the safety system used here, which was pretty fantastic, from the safety guy, Paul.

It was pretty hot, though, as the heatwave heated back up for the day. After some hours, we drove toward Munich, taking a huge detour because of road works, and stopping briefly to buy some groceries to eat in the car (fruit, bread, water, juice), and then stopping again to visit the village of Dinkelsbühl, where we saw a lovely church and ate ice cream.

Then, on to Münich, where we found the Marriott in the evening and had a late big steak supper to make up for the lack of normal lunch. Yum.
