Wurzburg was nicer than Frankfurt, small with a castle on the overlooking hill. There is a Resedenz, a large building with classical statues on the perimeters. It was home to the bishops during the enlightenment. We were impressed, but the town was bigger than we had expected, we thought it would be a quaint medieval village - this was more like a city.
We were in the process of looking for a tent, and pricing various options. So we spent a lot of time darting into sports shops. There was one ingenious busker - a one man band with every variety of horns, pipe drum, and any percussion you can imagine, he was very good but he didn't like people very much. He had laid a thick cord all around him in a circle and used a big stick to keep pointing it out to people. He allowed no one to overstep the cord. HE also had various signs all around him saying "don't video". We found an advert for a tent shop and went in search of it. We found ourselves on the outskirts of town, and there were two tents we were interested in. One tent was 50 Marks and the other 100, the different was in quality and size. Eventually we went halves and bought the 100 mark one together. At the end of our trip one will buy out the other and keep the tent. So I am now the proud co-owner of a 110 mark Silveretta Igluzelt. My first house! it weighs 3.5 kilo which is not much. Then we hitched out of town on our way back to Munich.
