We leave Unkel with a hotel booking in Assmannshauser. No pressure to get there.

We find a beautiful little town called Linz. We park in a public parking lot. The railway is elevated above us. There is a man up on the tracks who starts talking to Stu in the language of the area, German. Then some other people who are parking across from where we parked get into the act 🙂 After a lot of discussion one of the people parking near us tells Stu to open the door to our car, he then pulls out of the pocket in the door a time parking thingy. Apparently you set the time you will be back so they don’t give you a ticket. A little parking lesson in Germany!

It is the busiest little town we have come across along the Rhine. It has very quaint half timber buildings in lots of bright colours and crooked buildings. In this one when you drop anything it will roll downhill to the left I’m sure.

There is an interesting fountain where you can pose the figures arms and hands.

We carry on south down the Rhine. Stopping next at a beautiful castle up on the hill. We drive up and pay our 6 euros each to take  the tour of the castle. Very interesting hearing how they lived in the middle ages.

There are amazing views from up on the castle hill.
Off we go on our way to Assmannshauser. I think Stu picked this place for it’s name. We find our little pension but have a bit of trouble finding where to park our car. We got this place through HRS.com for 49 euros (about 72 CAD). It is small and quaint. Once again we are on the top floor. At least the steps can handle a normal human foot! We hope to stay in this town tomorrow night as
well.

This IS a room with a vew!!
