Germany - Sunday Morning - Dinkelsbuhl

Checked out of the Holiday Inn in Berlin Saturday Morning and spent all day travelling by train and bus. We had a first class compartment on the train and it was nice. We spent 1 and a half hours waiting for the bus to Dinkelsbuhl since they only run every 2 hours on the weekends. We arrived at 1820 and are staying in the "Old Town". A very nice Bavarian Village. They were filming something last night. Not sure what. But  the buildings were lit up with spotlights. They have a small Christmas Market here and we will explore more tonite. The dogs had lighted collars and we are going to try and find one for Q. Maybe one for the kids too.

Public transportation to Neuswanstein doesn't look promising, but we'll see what tomorrow brings. What is amusing, is how many hotels there are in this town and Rick Steves book listed one - that is 1 - Numero Uno. So we are left wondering why. Our room was great. though. 3rd Floor walk-up and all.

Other than that we are off to explore. It is 11am here and of course cold. Sharon bought me warm gloves and an Original Pashmina to keep warm which I wore last night. It is silk and cashmere and the gloves are cashmere lined. So I am warmer (and wearing 3 layers of clothing), though still have a cold. But doing better. Take care all. Talk to you soon.
