We had a long day of sight seeing and we needed some sushi in our bellies! We searched and searched to no avail. Everything was closed 😦

We ended up at a strange International cuisine restaurant that was surprisingly good. My experience with international is typically bad- a restaurant that does many cuisines poorly, but Vamps delivered.

I had a delightfully limy Cuba Libre and the chicken curry with basmati rice. It was rich and spicy with tender pieces of chicken and perfectly cooked and seasoned rice. Adam had the gyro platter. Gyro meat with fries and a sweet and sour cabbage salad- also good.

He, he, he…

We were enjoying a lovely day of sight seeing when dark clouds started rolling in. We ducked into an ice cream shop just in time! We both enjoyed an affogato- espresso with vanilla ice cream. Mmmm!

The clouds rolled away and we found a wonderful winery along the “Red wine trail”. We enjoyed a few tastes then settle on the Portugieser- a variety I’ve never heard of before, but it was really nice.

What a lovely little city inGermany’s red wine region filled with gothic villages and roman ruins!

The food was ok- German. Just not our favorite

We had basil iced coffee, vanilla-almond Greek yogurt, and Cape Gooseberries (Physalis). We all agreed that they’re super tasty- sweet tart, pineapple plus a strawberry-tomato twist. Yum!

Fresh, chewy baguette with butter salt and a cool glass of Riesling… Ooo baby! Mom, this one’s for you 😉

We had lunch at a traditional German restaurant just a couple doors down from Beethoven’s birthplace!

We started with black pudding bruschetta with sautéed apples and onions. It was ok, not what we’d hoped for. Adam had the schnitzel with bacon and an egg on top. It was very good, very heavy but good. I had the pretzel salad- greens with tomatoes, pretzel croutons and ham. The salad was good. Again, heavy and overly dressed, but tasty. We also enjoyed dark beers and espresso… Mmmm!
