My second stop in Germany was the region of Thuringia. Nicole knew a family who lived there so we stayed with them for three nights.
Our wonderful hosts Kersten, Julia, Maria, and Enrico drove us around to castles and festivals and forests and fed us delicious home-cooked meals. It was a nice break from the cities and Airbnb’s, and the hospitality was much appreciated!
This trip was part of my year off travels.
I have a video from this part of the trip as well.
