You might be asking why ride to Heppenheim? The answer is simple: it's the dealer that services the BMW motorcycles stored at Knopf Tours where ours is stored.
Leaving Heppenheim, we pretty much headed due east except that because I had selected 'Avoid Interstates' on the GPS routing options, we found ourselves on terrific little one and two lane roads that wandered all directions but primarily east. We came upon the Marbach dam which I photographed for the Dam Tour and shortly after that at the intersection of 47 and 27 we passed by the Marzipan factory. Angela asked me to stop, but it took a 1/2 mile to reach a safe uturn location. The factory store is very cute and the candy is delicious but I really can't eat it. It's sugar and almonds and made into about any shape imaginable. Since it was her birthday, I picked out a special heart shaped treat for her.
And then the monsoon hit. Before we could get out of the parking lot we were drenched. I could see that the storm was moving away from our intended direction, so we motored on through numerous little villages and on twisty little roads until we finally reached our B&B (Wohnen mit Hertz) where we were warmly greeted around 5 pm and the motorcycle got its own garage.
After freshening up, we walked into town to explore and get some dinner. Dinner was found at the local tavern, and it was really good! The waiter even gave our tip to the cook and she was very appreciative!
We walked back to the B&B and spent a quiet evening together in our room. Should it be castles or Bamberg tomorrow? Oh Bamberg is a castle town and on our list. Decisions, decisions. Time will tell.
