DAY 9 - On the Road

Today was travel day. We got up and ate breakfast, loaded the bus, and we're on the road by 8am.  It was a 3 hour drive to Rothenburg, a preserved medieval town.  On the bus ride there, we had a church service on the bus led by Pastor Paul.

Once we arrived in Rotheburg, we had a picnic lunch in the grassy area that was once the gallows, then 2 hours to explore the town on our own.

We then drove 3 hours to Füssen along the "Romantic Road," built in the 1st century AD. We arrived at our youth hostel, ate dinner, and had free time.

We were hoping to walk into town and listen to a traditional umpah band or walk to the Hohes Schloss (High Palace), but it is unfortunately raining.  A few of us still decided to venture out, while others stayed at the youth hostel, afterall, the wifi is pretty fast here! :)

We took 8 students into Füssen and walked around, but stores were closed because it is Sunday.  After walking around the city, we went to a restaurant that was open and had some Frittes (fries)!  A couple students also ordered pizza, one ordered a burger, and one ordered a steak.  Despite the rain, it was still a good outing.
