83F, sunny
Bye to Munich at 9 a.m.—we hopped on trains to get us to Tubingen (I use this term lightly as we are schlepping luggage and going down steep stairs or escalators, getting on a train that quickly closes its doors, then up again many times. I am very grateful that Derek, Chris, Jim, and Tim help with this project, mostly for me). The process took us about 4 hours.
Tubingen is a delightful city, population 90,000, and our
rooms were ready for us at Metropol Apartments. No elevators, but only one set
of stairs to our room. TK and I are grateful
that we can do all this walking and climbing although it does get interesting.
Today was also a hot one.
In southwest Germany, Tubingen is home to one of Europe’s oldest universities. The University of Tübingen, is a public research university. The university's museum, housed in Hohentubingen Castle, has an exhibit of UNESCO World Heritage Ice-Age Art.
After lunch, we trekked up a 90 degree hill (I swear) to get to the museum housed in the university. I was very interested because I had watched YouTube videos of some of the early archeological artifacts in this museum. The long long walk was worth i
Along the way down to the old city, we
found a gelato shop and enjoyed a refreshing cone—fruits of the forest was
fabulous!
I am very
happy for an early evening, and a short 9805 steps today. TK chalked up
6500—he is disappointed that he did not go to the museum.
TK's Takes: Very hot today, 92F. When one's "pee" is yellow, one must drink more water.
Glad you managed less steps, you need some rest and people watching
