Our flights were uneventful and we enjoyed our Business Class seats. It seems like all we did was eat and drink! Frankfurts airport is huge. A plane arrives or departs every 30 seconds!
Minor adventure in locating our leased car center as it was far away from the airport. After some challenges with the language barrier we were picked up and taken to our car. After some quick Puegoet instructions we hit the autobahn. (No speed limits! Germans drive really fast!) First stop was filling up with gas…$7.20 per gallon!
With the help of our trusty GPS (don’t leave home without it) 70 kilometers later we arrived in beautiful Ladenburg (close to Heidelberg). It is one of the first German cities originally built by the Romans as a fort in 100 ad. That’s old!
We checked in to our beautiful Airbnb which is right in the center of the old town. We walked around and found a market, bought some bier, bread, sausages and a few other groceries at the Aldi and made our way home. Enjoyed our light dinner in the little courtyard of our Airbnb.
We slept 12 hours last night and feel pretty refreshed. We walked around this beautiful old town enjoying all the sights.
Enclosed are pictures of us leaving our home in Eagle, Cindy and the leased car and picturesque Ladenburg. We are here 5 more nights. We will visit Heidelberg tomorrow, take several driving trips through the area and go to Strasbourg on Monday.
We’ll update the blog in a few days before we head to our next destination, Munich.
Auf Wiedersehen
