The rain caught up with me by the bucket load for nearly all 21.4 km (13.4 mi). The first pic shows the rain clouds starting to gang up on me! Münchweiler was my goal today, but their one hotel (pricey at that) was full with a large party. Choices to go on were also limited by availability of train, since I'm planning to visit relatives (the Wiests) tomorrow near Zwickau for a three-day R&R. That left the best choice to go to Kaiserslautern (more affectionately known as K-town when I was stationed in Germany '64-'67)--it was the 32nd Army Air Defense Brigade Hq.
A surprise awaited me in Kaiserslautern where they made a hotel like Alcatraz--not sure how many rooms are Spartan cell rooms, but I picked one, since it's most pilgrim-like. I love it. The Wi-Fi password is Al Capone--and I stumbled onto it through Booking.com (the modern pilgrim's tool) where it was the cheapest room in the city at 49€ with breakfast included.
