> Almost there:

> Short pause for breath:

> Click forward from here for views of and from the castle

> At this point we were much too shattered to do anything except drink lots 
> of cool beer - it must be said that Frauke has two new hips and I had a 
> strained Achilles tendon and a twisted knee even before we started, so the 
> descent is virtually undocumented.
> Just a short stroll around town to look at where Martin Luther went to 
> school:

> Back down to the Stadtschloss and then back to the hotel for a well-earned 
> beer and a steak.
>
> The first stop on the next day was in Duderstadt, one of the 
> best-preserved timbered towns in northern Germany, for a coffee and a 
> rest:
>
> Although it's called the "Ratskeller" "city council beer cellar), it's a 
> very good Italian restaurant:

>
> The market square conjures up all sorts of amusing stories - at one end is 
> the Catholic church and at the other the Evangelical church:

> http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/DMS/Germany/Eisenach/CRW_0117.jpg.html

> The side streets all have their churches, too, including one with a 
> corkscrew spire:
> http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/DMS/Germany/Eisenach/CRW_0119.jpg.html
>
> and the catholic end has a "saint on a stick" - usually not seen this far 
> north, but Bavaria is full of them:

> After leaving Duderstadt, we were followed by a nutcase in an Iveco truck

> Diesel on our tail:
