Robin In Germany

My good friend Robin, has some truly entertaining travel stories. He sent over some pictures of the Hotel he stayed at in Germany.                            Yes it's a Castle. (I'll get more info when we meet up tomorrow)IMG_4059 IMG_4063 IMG_4060

Travel story (my synopsis) After flying from LA to Frankfurt, then a 300 mile drive, past Nürnberg to a village near the Czech Republic border.

Needing some cash he (Robin) heads off looking for a Bank/ATM .. lucky, there is small Bank with an ATM, and not much else in the village … except there is a café/coffee shop, directly opposite the Bank. Taking a seat by the window (perfect view of the bank) he orders a coffee and falls sound asleep. ("Totally knackered") Only to be awoken by VERY Inquisitive, armed police, (Polizei) who had been called by the café owner, convinced Robin was the "Look-Out" for an impending Bank Robbery.

All the more probable, as his rental car was a brand new Mercedes Benz. (And how he he got a new Benz rental car is a story in it's own right)
