This morning started with a walk to the local reservoir / nature reserve recommended by our neighbouring diner last night. As dogs often do, spark a conversation with strangers. A nice couple of miles before breakfast though it is definitely getting a little cool in the air now. Next on our list was a stopContinue reading “On the road again – (via Harburg Castle) Nördlingen, Germany”

You may have spotted we have extended our Friedberg stay to the full three days because we like it here 😁 However, today was chance to do some jobs before we head off north. I loaded up a big rucksack and the dog carrier with laundry and headed to the nearest laundrette. Kevin was onContinue reading “Jobs Day – Friedberg, Germany”

Monday, we headed into Augsburg to do some sightseeing using the local commuter train from Friedberg, only a 10 minute walk from the Stellplatz we are staying. The Romantic Road is a route through some scenic locations and historic towns and villages in Bavaria which was created by the local tourist board and is signContinue reading “Start of our Romantic Road Trip – Augsburg, Germany”

Would love to tell you we’d had a wonderfully cultured day of intellectual sight seeing etc. Actually, we got up late, also not true, Kevin got up several times in the night to pacify Lola’s guarding instincts as it was soo quiet last night she responded in kind to every motion.. including our neighbouring motorhomeContinue reading “Relaxing Sunday Afternoon – Friedberg, Bavaria, Germany”

Today started with a lovely walk with Lizzy and Lola through some of the woods of the Black Forest, which we are literally parked in front of in our spot at the Unimog museum. The woods are threaded with cycle paths and walks and are popular. We struggled a bit with the signage and atContinue reading “Unimog, the sequel (Ötigheim) – Weiheim an der Teck, Germany”

This morning we were rudely awoken by the fridge. I think that sort of thing really only happens in a motorhome 🤣 You may recall that we are on 50c in the slot for electric at our Baden-Baden site and despite putting all our remaining 50c pieces (it spat out the 1€ we offered), electricityContinue reading “Unimog Heaven – Gaggenau, Germany”

Today’s task was to visit Mount Merkur, German for Mercury, also a Roman god, the 2,191ft summit and a grand view over Baden-Baden. Achieved via a funicular railway, reputedly the most technically advanced, certainly the steepest in Europe, reaching inclines between 23-54%. We took our usual walk into Baden-Baden down the tree lined footpath /Continue reading “Funiculì, funiculà! – Baden-Baden, Germany”

We were on the road again this morning early. My turn for some driving today. We have been listening to Joe Marler’s audiobook “Loose Head” along the way which has us laughing and cringing in equal measure and is making our journeys fly by. Before we knew it we were passing Strasbourg and crossing theContinue reading “Guten Tag Deutschland – Baden-Baden, Germany”
