5 week challenge.

We have seen a few new places this trip, and, as you do, one drive through Germany we discussed where we would go if we had to spend all trip in the one spot. 

Rach is keen for Wiesbaden. Activities include starkers thermal spa (every day...), decent shopping (esp for kiddies), day trips to Frankfurt and very cute wine towns on the river (just don't go to Rudesheim on a sunny Sunday) and German food (great currywurst and bakeries). The only improvement would be Sunday trading- is it 1980 (or adelaide?). New York like inner city burbs, complete with squirrels. 

Travis is keen for Beaune- French food, Charmbolle Musigny, and the amazing

Wine store Anatheum. 

For Weisbaden...

Yep, a 'butter schnitzel' on our final night in Germany. 

Steep vineyards on the Rhine (for snobs this the Burg... vineyard)

Exceptional bakeries

Before spa....

Post spa transformation. 

Best currywurst so far...

A lot of NY city feeling here, in the older parts towards East Village.
