Miltenberg



We had the morning to relax and watch the world go by; beautiful forests, red cliff faces, fields of cows, vineyards, always something new. After lunch we visited Miltenberg. A delightful little town full of half-timbered houses. Grandad said he found the cafe that sold the most wonderful cream cakes in the World - his constant crusade was over, but he had to make sure of it. Everytown and city has lovely cafe's with beautiful pastries and cakes and you sit outside, not with cars going by you, but on cobblestoned pathways. It was another town full of histories out of story books, with the square where they held executions to provide entertainment for the masses before television was invented. I wonder what beautiful little town will be around the next bend?
We had dinner last night with a couple who used to work in Samoa just before we were there. He worked for the Bank of Western Samoa and we shared many funny stories. They are lovely people even though they are from New Zealand.
