Day 38 (June 9) A Rest Day

Today we took a day of rest with no seeking out of Bros. Grimm items.  But as a good motorcyclist, we rode into Kassel and visited two motorcycle shops (Louis' & Polo).  Both focus on apparel but also stock other items. We each bought some headbands at Louis'.  After those visits, we went to the nearby Natural History Museum for a short visit.  At the senior price of 2.50€ each it was worth it.  They had some nice dinosaur skeletons and the current exhibit was on animals that man uses or enjoys.  

After that visit we walked across the street for a bite to eat.  Never have we felt so unwelcome in a coffee shop until the male proprietor left and a lady took over serving us.  The fellow had omitted my item from the order, but the lady fixed that up.

Back at our hotel, we walked to dinner at a Turkish dönar shop, and it was terrific and inexpensive.  I wish we would have found it sooner.

While at dinner we reached the decision it was time to move on.  That night we did a bit of research and determined that Steinau would be the last stop on the Grimm Bros. portion of our trip.  So in the morning after breakfast, we'd pack up and mosey on down the road.  We do have a nagging motorcycle issue to deal with: the kill switch which is combined with the starter switch has broken.  It's an easy fix with a pretty expensive replacement part. As long as the start button doesn't fall off, all should be good until I can get to our dealer in Heppenheim next week.  In the meantime we're looking forward to a good weekend in Steinau. I found a 50€/night Gasthaus near Steinau, and we'll check it out tomorrow.
