Today (Sunday) turned out to be a long day in the saddle. After breakfast we rode to Hanau to see the play Rapunzel which was being performed in the ampitheatre on the grounds of the Phillipsrühe castle. I had the GPS route us there on non-autobahn roads and the ride was shorter than on the autobahn by 40 kilometers and just a bit longer in time. But it was so much more interesting.
Before the play, we had fried cheese for lunch at a local tavern and visited another castle. The play was interesting although I did not understand a word.
We then visited the Phillipsrühe castle to see the museum with particular interest on the Bros. Grimm exhibit and the paper theatre exhibit. Our GPS then routed us back home on a different set of back roads. In Alsfeld we had a quick salad for dinner before finishing the ride back to the hotel. At the hotel, I tipped the bike over on the slanted incline with no damage to us or the bike, just my pride! The hotel's cook saw it happen and helped me right it.
We then unwound and retired for the night. It had been a long day!
