Day 9

Today we had a guided tour of the Prince Bishops Residenz. It is a beautiful baroque palace. It had a huge staicase with an enormous fresco on the roof along the lines of the ones in the Sistene Chapel.It had a room of painted mirrors. Everything was very elaborate and over the top but great to see. We had time to look around the little market square before catching a bus the Rothenburg a pictureque village that is completely surrounded by its city wall.The town is also home of Germanys famous Kathe Wohlfaht Christmas store and there is even a torture museum.
After dinner The Aulic Council and Wine Queens escorted us to Germany's oldest wine cellar where we sampled 5 local wines served by 2 bucksome Wine Queens.A good night was had by all...well at least the by the ANZACs.
