The Herrngasse in the center of Rothenburg
Wednesday, October 22
arrival at Frankfurt at 0755 on Delta 14 from Atlanta, departs on Tuesday, Oct 21
Pick up at the airport by
Jim in Terminal 2
Jim stays the night before your arrival at a hotel about 30 mins drive from the airport.
He will have come from finishing a tour in Lucerne, Switzerland the day before.
Note: With an arrival time of 0755 Jim will be monitoring your flight on his Flight Tracker app. From experience he knows that it generally takes about 45 mins to an hour from touch down to you coming out of the baggage retrieval area. Walk straight ahead through the crowd of people waiting and you will find Jim waiting for you. He will time his own arrival at the terminal for 45 mins after your touchdown. This allows him to park very close to the terminal in a special area.
To Rothenburg ob der
Tauber, Germany
About an hour and 50 mins drive
Jim takes you to our home away from home
where you stay in a charming B&B in a central yet quiet part of town. This
B&B is very inexpensive and yet very comfy and quiet with excellent
breakfast and atmosphere. A lovely young couple Markus and Miriam run it. Rest and then later, beer
and excellent German food at the Alter Keller.
Thursday, October 23
Breakfast at the Alter Keller on your own followed by exploration of
Rothenburg with tips from Jim, who will have provided you with a town map the day before along with some suggested sights to visit. Jim will be at home recovering from back to back trips,
doing laundry, getting the vehicle ready for the next leg, etc. We meet later
for dinner.
You may want to take the Night Watchman tour tonight. It starts at 8 in the market square and lasts for an hour. It is in English and a highlight of any trip to Germany.
Bring one canister of powdered hazelnut coffee mate, it is your 'admission fee!'
