Friday 8/6, a late wake-up today but an early lunch and
in-between an entertaining talk and demonstration by a glass-blower from Wertheim.
Karl Ittig is a sixth generation glass-blower and is not only extremely
talented at his craft but also an interesting and very entertaining presenter.
After lunch, we boarded coaches and headed for the old town of Rothenburg. Here
we had an interesting and informative tour of the old town followed by an
equally interesting free-time walk around. We came across about 20 vintage European
cars, and surprisingly only 3 of them were left-hand drive. All the others
including Benz and Renault were right-hand drive. On the way back to the ship
we came by Autobahn, an interesting drive; trucks limited to 80km/hr, buses
limited to 100km/hr and cars travelling at unlimited speed, most in the 130 to
180km/hr bracket but the occasional car in the 200 to 250km/hr bracket and all
on a 2-lane dual carriage-way. After dinner this evening, we were entertained
by the executive chef and the hotel services manager cooking “Seafood Paella”.
