More swans, bus ride, and Rothenburg part 1

Published on by rphbaker

I published my last post before I was done take pictures of the swan so here’s a few more.

Greg had to prove he could get up on the window ledge.

Good job Greg

We had a departure time of 9:15 so we headed out to the bus. We had a drive of an hour or so with some pretty sights along the way.

This bus driver got a smiley face for his speed in the first town but in the second he got a frowning face like Greg always gets.
Pumpkin patch

We finally arrived at Rothenburg ob der Tauber. So it seems as though there are 17 towns in Europe named Rothenburg so they had to be differentiated. This one means over the Tauber (River.) Rothenburg means red castle.

Rothenburg is an absolutely picturesque town. This day will be in several posts and is mainly pictures. Walt Disney was inspired by this town in the 1930’s and the Pinocchio Village was the first movie inspired by this town.

Our tour guide who referred to us as “My Noble Guests” at least 500 times over the course of the day.
The city has a mostly intact 1.5 mile wall surrounding the city.
Interesting sign
Was originally a barn
Love how they are training these trees to grow on the wall
