Today was our first full day in Germany. So our first stop was a group outing to the medieval town of Limburg which was a 45 minute drive. The town has many lovely half timber houses and a beautiful cathedral. It is probably best know for its stinking Limburger cheese. There was no sign of the cheese anywhere though.

This evening we drove two hours to stay the rest of the week with Henny in Lemberg which is quite close to the French border. To get some exercise after dinner Mum and I walked up to the top of the local “berg” to enjoy the view and see the castle ruins.

A couple of notes – they don’t all drive like mad people on the autobahn. Most drive 110 or 120 km / hr. Of course there are a few nuts who drive 160 kph in the fast lane. But it’s not as bad as it is made out!
