My flight to and arrival in Frankfurt went smoothly. Steve text me saying that Marianne was 45 minutes behind me. I took the skyline to Terminal 1 and waited 2 hours at the exit for her. Did I miss her? Then, as she came through the doors, she had an assistant with a folded-up wheelchair and Marianne was pushing a cart full of luggage with a cane across the top—really! Maybe we need a bigger car. An hour and a half, and the third car later from Avis, we finally, nervously drove off for Michelstadt.
Marianne loves this village and wanted to show me the town center. It was very lovely with a lot of gabled structures dating from the 1200s. The town was preparing for their small and quaint Christmas Market. We are one day early, however, we enjoyed seeing some of the town's decorations.
We walked into a T-Mobile store to buy sim cards and again, an hour and a half later, we drove off continuing south towards Heilbronn and the A6. Driving through the small towns, we were looking for somewhere to stay. It's hard searching when it's dark and it gets dark at about 5 pm. I found out that Marianne doesn't prefer hotels—only pensions or gastehauses. We finally got onto the A6, drove for a short distance and then exited onto a red road to continue looking for a pension. Yes, we finally found a gastehaus, checked into our separate rooms and went to their restaurant—hadn't eaten since the plane ride. The food and wine was great.
