We arrived in a pretty, small town. There was only one catch. Almost a secret. It was……medieval.
We arrived after another few trains and headed for our hotel. We loaded off our suitcases that we had been lugging all day long. The hotel was snug and cosy. We even got some ‘Welcome Chocolate’. It was good chocolate too.
We wandered and walked and wandered and walked until we reached the Criminal Museum…..Mwah hahaha. We saw some torture items (I have some ideas for people that get on my nerves – Dad said he had some too… ) One of the things that were used were actually quite funny. If you acted like a pig you had to wear a metal mask shaped like a pig. For a woman there was a mask with big ears, big eyes and a long tongue. This symbolised that the woman was being punished because she heard and saw everything, then blabbed about it. There were also other things that would hurt soooo bad. Like the stretch ladder….
Rothenburg was so pretty. At a particular place they had decorated real eggs and hung them over a hedge. The atmosphere felt as if I had stepped out of our modern time and into an older place. The buildings, pavements and shops had an old-world feeling and made me stop and stare. While we were there we also climbed a tower where we saw the whole town in one spot. It was truly spectacular.
It was definitely a place to remember.
