I got goosebumps during the clip about the Stolpersteins. My great grandmother was murdered in Auschwitz and the Stolperstein Project vetted her biography and created a bronze stone for her.
I guarantee I’ve heard Sweet Caroline more than you this year! Our trash robots at work play it at least once a day as they come by our stations. 😂 It always makes me want to go on a cruise.
In 1985 I was in Rothenburg for the Christmas Market. I went at night, and there was a brass band of older men in uniforms playing carols. I will remember it all of my life. It was magical. Your video brought back all of the memories.
I love the unique architecture of the Bavarian region. It’s why I love international travel so much, each place is so different and has so much to offer. I’m also a professed photographer bug 😂
This town has been my favorite. Appropriate that you described it as Fairy Tale, with the references to Pinocchio and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (well, sort of fairy tale). I could picture the King’s henchman swirling around that little square, sniffing for children. Seems like you are having Christmas (shopping) in July, yes? I’m glad you opted for a second tour that day! Sehr gut.
That clock display on the square is for sure one of the most underwelming one's ever seen. 😂 Your dessert is litereally translated as Treecake ( Like a log ( not a bombcake 😂) It looks tasty.
Dee's photos were spectacular!!! Looks like a lovely place to amble around and explore. I was thinking you can't really watch your diet easily on this ship, as they are always bringing extra goodies to try. FUN ~!~
I'm so excited for the rest of your journey! I spent two weeks in Germany and visited Wiesbaden, Nuremberg, and Frankfurt. It was absolutely amazing! Have a wonderful time.
When you get to Italy, a stop in Messina is the Astronomical Clock tower. It has a 12 minute show with carousels and moving statues. Loving your Germany vlogs….
In retrospect, you are probably glad you weren't able to see the opening ceremony. I know you go to church when you are home. It rubbed me and many others the wrong way. I am loving your travel documenting your travels.
It was relative to a Greek Festival due to the Olympics originating in Ancient Greece 776 BC to 393 AD then wasn't restarted again until 1896 ish. when Frenchman named Baron Pierre de Coubertin brought it back and other countries were so interested that he originally wanted it restarted in France but they talked him into going back to the origins. There was no "religious" connotation in events back then and never has. The people who had an issue with Dionysos Lenios which was celebrating the history of the Olympics and Greek God's, were from the U.S. To the best of my knowledge it was not a big issue with other countries. Especially since it also honored France History with bringing back the Olympics from Baron Pierre de Coubertin. It's all about the history of Greece and Olympics.
Love this series! It beings back memories of our Viking cruise in 2014! We bought a box of stuff from the Christmas store and had it shipped home! They have a store in Stillwater MN if you ever make it there!
It's probably a bit much to rate each dish on a scale, ha ha... but we could probably just do a single score for overall food. Honestly, the food on this particular ship was some of the best and most thoughtfully prepared and presented that we've ever had, so we're probably at a 10 for this trip!! :D

I’ve seen them in several towns. A couple I saw last time only stated that they died - did not have the ‘camp’ that they often do
bless them for creating that memory stone.

Oh nooooo, of course the *trash* robots would play it, ha ha.. :P #burrrrrn

It snowed on our Christmas visit. That made it extra magical. Just beautiful
@@stevebartley628 OMG! That would have been so special!
On that Pinocchio street is a butcher shop with the best curry wurst in a cup!

Love this! Here in Michigan we have Franchmuth with Bronners- all things Christmas over 2 acre store!! Oh the Glockenspiel has life size characters
I’ve seen some walking tours of the Christmas market in Rothenburg and it looks amazing!!

When I lived in Würzburg we always went here. Loved it ❤
Tarnation. Love it.
My last Sneeball was moister than the first one I had. Part of a day is TOO SHORT A TIME in Rothenburg. Last fall I spent 4 days on my 5th visit
It was waaaaay too short! We wanted to try climbing the wall and doing a few other things, but we'll have to save that for another visit!! :P
Another great video!
Love this series. Dorade is pronounce Doh Rahde. It is my favorite fish, aka Orata.
That clock display on the square is for sure one of the most underwelming one's ever seen. 😂

Baum = branch. Like “oh tanenbaum”
This is a beautiful city! I really enjoyed your tour and photos!
We just love your River cruise videos 😊
Rothenburg is one of my favorite places in Germany. Was there in 1992.

I don’t know about Chitty Chitty, but ‘The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm’ was filmed there
I Love this❤️❤️❤️
I love the Christmas Shop!!
Love the Christmas store ❤
Thank you for taking us along with you on this excursion or on the ship I should say also. Glad you had fun.❤❤❤❤❤🛳️🦩⚓️
I have the same feeling Sweet Caroline😢 that should only be heard at a Redsox game
The opening ceremony was amazing! Too bad you missed it.
You didn't miss much with the opening ceremonies

The owner of the Christmas shop owns several other shops including the toy store in town
Did you buy anything in Christmas store
Nothing this time around, though we could have filled a whole suitcase with the cuteness in there!! :P

Is this the area they call The Romantic Row?

Hey! Is it possible to rate the food out of 10? Your videos are great, but this would really be helpful in planning trips. God bless you!

Mi😢ssed Punishment Museum next time.
Th is just pronounced as a t in German
It’s pronounced ROTE-n-burg.
