Martin Luther

Sad but efficient day today. Phone call to the Mercedes service garage at 07:08 resulted in "Can you be here in 15 minutes?" By 08:00 the car had been tested and diagnosed. It was the differential. By 09:00 they had located the necessary part, printed the contract, and I had signed up for the work to be done. So efficient you almost forget that it is the price of a small car.

RAC organised a replacement car delivered to the hotel. Mondeo Man! Full of gadgets. It even parallel parks automatically.

But back to more historical things, we visited Wartburg Castle, ("the most important castle in Germany") where Martin Luther was kept safe while he worked on his translation of the New Testament and avoided the Church hierarchy who had unpleasant plans for him.

Bach's birthplace features strongly in Eisenach, and the Church where he was baptised was on today's dripping itinerary.

Photos are of Georgenkirche, corridor in the castle, and Luther's study.
