Day 41 (June 12) Waiting out the Rain in Freiensteinau

This Sunday we woke up to steady rain and a forecast that initially didn't seem promising. We lounged around watching wave after wave of rain pass through the little village. Just when we would think it would be letting up and we'd get ready to leave, the showers would return.  Finally around 2:30pm the skies seemed to clear up and we geared up and headed out.  We wanted to visit Devil's Cave and take in at Eugenspiegel a two person guitar band who would be singing 60's and 70's American tribute songs.  On the way we were finally able to photograph the mystery animals. The cave was wonderful and we had a great English speaking guide for just the two of us.  Again no photos could be taken inside the limestone cave.  

 

Adjoining the cave was the outdoor concert venue.  So walked in and got an outdoor seat at a picnic table and ordered our food which was a BBQ'd steak and a salad and the famous fried potatoes.  We shared the salad and potatoes.  The group started performing songs from artists ranging from Eric Clapton to Simon & Garfunkle, BeeGee's, Eagles, and more.  Their English diction was quite good, but I couldn't understand much between songs.

After the concert was over, we rode back to our lodging in Freiensteinau  just in time for more rain.  Germany was playing Ukraine in the European Cup so we watched it (no final score as of this writing but Germany leads 1-0 and appears more aggressive in their play).

Tomorrow we begin a new adventure riding backroads to historic castles to the east towards Prague.
