Day 171 - Seen one, seen them all ....?

Steinsfeld to Augsburg - Best Western Dasing Augsburg

We continued our journey along the "Romantic Road", stopping at the towns of Dinkelsbuhl and Nordlingen along the way. It's probably bad form to say this, but these medieval towns are a bit like English villages, once you have seen one, you know what to expect - city walls, cobbled streets, Christmas shops, bakeries and cake shops, breweries, nicely painted houses, town square with a Rathaus (town hall) ....

Having said that however, we thought Nordlingen was quite nice, we spent some time walking around the streets, one of the good things was that it is much less touristy than Rothenberg, and a lot more like a town where "real people" live, and not just a tourist destination.

We booked into a hotel near Augsburg, and then headed into Augsburg for the evening. Augsburg is quite a large city, with a very large square, is more like a "modern" city than other places we've visited on the Romantic Road.
