Euro Trip

<< < (2/3) > >>

Sir Rodney:
In Germany, visit the walled city of Rothenburg ob der Tauber.  We only had a few days to spend there; I wish I could have stayed much longer.   :'(

Check out the Rathaus (town hall), the Criminal Museum (including executioners swords), and St. James' Church (Holy Blood altarpiece).  Stay away from the Christmas Museum (tourist trap).

Sir Brian:
It's been thirty years since I was in Europe so my information is a little 'dated'! ;)

Sir William:
I'd check with Sir Gerard de Rodes as he's in the U.K. - he could point you to some sites in the U.K. at least.

Sir James A:
Saw Warwick as well, I think 2 days worth? It was amazing.

We also stopped at a tiny little smith's shop. "David the Smith". His building was over 200 years old, and was there before the town (or something similar). Very nice guy, very heavy accent, very long line of smiths. Had a claymore he made out of a railroad rail... I wanted it. A lot.

Haven't been for almost 20 years, though. :(

Sir Humphrey:
Wow!  So much for you to see and do and such a short time.  I've been to the UK four times and still have not scratched the surface.  Too much to list here. I hope to the go to the 600th anniversery of Agincourt next year.  That will be my first trip to France.

In London, do the Tower and the Wallace Collection.  Use a good travel guide to prioritize after those two.  If you get up to the Welsh Marches see Ludlow Castle and my favorite little castle which you learn more about here:
