Sat Aug 23  Wuerzburg to Ochsenfurf
We left Berchtesgaden and caught the Regio to Wuerzburg. It was a sunny morning and the mountains were spectacular. We had to make three changes but it all went smooth. Only one staircase to change platforms .However it took all day to get Wuerzburg, because the regio stops at lots of stations. We arrived at 6.00 p.m. and quickly rode and found our hotel Stadt Mainz in the old part of to town. Now I am back in my region again were I know my way around and speak the language (dialect). We went to our favorite restaurant Buergerspital, avery old place. They serve traditional franconien food. Mac and Mike had Schaeufele (crisp roasted pork shoulder with dumplings and cabbage salat and I had a salad with lots of roasted chanterelles.We are in the wine region of Frankonia we had different wines with dinner
Next morning after breakfast we took Mike on a tour of the city. I am posting some of the sights.
