Part 13c: Eis Eis Baby

After a “towering” expedition, we’d occasionally visit one of Germany’s Eis Cafes. There’s nothing like a Spaghetti Eis after a day of stretching those climbing muscles! Nothing except maybe a serving of Schinken und Kartoffeln eis.

Part 13b: Marienburg Fortress Mission Accomplished

The question was asked “Did you ever make it to the fortress?” Yes, yes we did indeed. We built a giant tailgate sandwich in a hollowed out loaf of shepherd’s bread (scaling buildings is hard work) and jumped on the Autobahn.


Upon arriving at the Fortress we wandered the site and went to the museum housed in the old arsenal. On display were artifacts depicting Franconian life. In the courtyard there was (what else) a tower which was climbed (of course). We ended the day by purchasing little cap guns (for causing a ruckus) and eating spaghetti eis (mmm).
