So, I’ll definitely be attending RailsConf Europe this year (in addition to a slew of other conferences), and I’ve decided that this is the perfect opportunity to look around. I’ve never been to Germany, though it’s always been on my list.
What makes it even better is that I’ll be bringing along my wife, Melissa, for a few days away from our two [lovely, but exhausting] sons. Melissa’s father was adopted from Berlin as a child, so she’s always had an interest in visiting.
So, here’s the part where having this site really has some advantages. Ideas.
Given a few extra days (let’s say a week total, conference and vacation; I can only saddle my mother-in-law with two small children for so long) and a wife that deserves a quiet, romantic vacation, where would you go? I’ve, of course, heard S. Germany (and Romantische Straße), but is there somewhere specific that really pops out in your mind? A few nights in a small village, some area that just must be seen?
Travel by train preferred, but renting a car is an option. Suggestions by real, live Germans (!!!) a bonus.
