Ryano,

The language barrier wasn't bad. Most Germans have had several years of English in school. I also found that many German words and English words were similar, so by the end of the trip, I could understand quite a bit of German (speaking would another matter entirely) :)

JackCrafty:
Awesome  ;D

D. Tiller:
Wow! Looks like a great trip. Did you notice the cannon ports on the castle? Looks like it must have been either modified or built durring the time of cannon.  The Archery loopholes usually angle from the small outside slits toward wider on the inside. Cannon ports where oppossite so when loaded with shot it could spread out more quickly and you could traverse the cannon more since you need less room to move it in.

PS: Miss that German beer! Have you ever had the stuff made in Ruthenberg? Like drinking honey!
