Rothenburgh ob der Tauber – August 29th 2017 We woke early and had to yank the kids out of bed almost. We couldn’t miss our breaky and had a date at a local bakery set for 9am. We sat for our breakfast and enjoyed a more traditional German continental meal. They served many meats and...

Written on August 28, 2017 in Germany
