Last Day

Today was our last day in Germany. It began very well with a nice, long sleep in...well, at least for Naomi and me - Mindy and Fiona got the usual 5 hours of thrashing around they normally get! After breakfast we spent a couple of hours in Karlsruhe near the hotel. There was a castle which was essentially a museum with some nice gardens around it but it became clear that the kids have had enough of museums for a while.

Next was the drive up to Frankfurt to be ready to depart tomorrow. We decided to walk to a local beer garden for dinner and we were glad we did. Basically, surrounding the main building were several small cottages with gardens. We kind of figured it was kind of like a mobile home village. We found out later that the plots and cottages are rented by city dwellers who grow their gardens out here. The food in the beer garden was the best we have had on our trip. One more schnitzel for each of us, while the kids continued their enjoyment of German sausages. Some nice wheat beer to wash it all down and then back to the hotel to relax before the flight.
