Bamburg

Our intention was to be in this city for lunch, but seeing as we tend to sleep in lately, mostly due to the cold weather, we were here around dinner time. The market we saw seemed lively and fun. I would love to go back to this city for a full day and spend the night in one of the breweries rooms. Yes that’s right, the breweries in town offer up rooms for a small fee. So the reason we came here: To sample the beer. Bamburg has a unique style of beer; it has a smoky bacon taste to it. Julie and I sampled the beer with an order of Schnitzel, a green salad and potato salad. Schlenkerla, the pub we went to, was jammed packed with people, so at first we were unsure of where to go sit. We ended up walking through 3 sets of doors before finding an almost empty room. We sat down and another couple joined us a bit later. We realized that almost the entire room had been reserved and we were sitting on the one table that wasn’t. We made our way back to the van and continued our drive to Wurzburg, the town that is at the start of the Romantic Road and the location of our camp site. We had hoped to park outside the campgrounds that night for free, but because the owners live on the premises, they heard us pull up and invited us in.
