Tubingen

Saturday we discovered the quaint town of Tubingen, south of Stuttgart 30 minutes. What we didn't figure in to the days' adventure was that all of Europe is on "Holiday" and it was packed. When we arrived we experienced our second adventure of "The Borkes Do Europe" by driving down an Einbanstrasse (one-way street) - going the wrong way! When we came to the end of the road we had only one option....jumping the curb, swerving pedestrians, and acting as if nothing was wrong! Who was driving? Well I leave that up to you to decide, feel free to read the post from a few days ago and maybe you'll put 2 and 2 together!

The town was beautiful, built right into a hillside along the Nekar River. Of course since we've been here we've had mostly cool days, but this day had to be 90 and remember, no A/C over here! Brad decided that the best way to view the town was by Ruderboot (rowboat). Take a look at who we hired to row our boat!

There was only one small problem, or should I say big problem. The boat was made for people shorter than 5'5". Brad had a time being able to row around those 6'4" legs! Nonetheless, the passengers were quite happy!

Along the way Jack spotted this tiny sailboat and offered the idea that we rent it next!
We nixed the idea and deceided to train the shorter folk aboard to row!

The sights were beautiful, here are just a few:

After all that hard work, the hired help was treated to an ice cream. Believe me, they know ice cream in every language!
After our rest we deceided to stroll the streets and ended up in the town plaza where the kids enjoyed the fountain!

And that wraps up our 3 hour adventure in Tubingen!
