Baden-Baden - What a pleasant surprise! We picked Baden-Baden because the weather in Switzerland was not great and our reservation at the Castle in Bacharach was not until June 12 and Baden-Baden was about half way. The weather was great today. We had a lazy morning in our massive 2 bedroom apartment and eventually got to town about 10 am. I had a great German breakfast of eggs, ham, fried potatoes, 3 buns and a coffee. We then spent the day wandering around the old town (mostly shopping) - well Jan shopped while I had an Apfel (apple) Strudel and a beer at an outdoor cafe. We then wandered around a little more and we stopped for some bratwurst, sauerkraut and beer. AND JAN ACTUALLY DRANK THE FIRST BEER OF HER LIFE at the Lowenbrau Beer Garden (a half litre). We then walked along the river and stumbled upon the European Senior Open in Tennis and watched for awhile. We stopped to smell the roses - literally - a rose garden along the river. Walked back to town and had a great dinner of bratwurst and spaetzle at Rathausglockel Restaurant - another one of our best meals in Europe. Back to the apartment to pack up. Tomorrow - Bacharach and our stay in a Castle!
