We did stay at a castle in the Rhine Valley for one night. But the room got really hot because the window was too tiny to let in the cool air. Despite that, we enjoyed our night there. :)Stinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11415189347501942340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8841645566318950865.post-34743394888336296162012-04-19T22:47:29.989-04:002012-04-19T22:47:29.989-04:00Super post!
