Today was going to be a rest day. But…. the weather is looking rubbish in this area for tomorrow and the day after, so we decided to go for it and get the bus to Königssee and the lake.… and… a near disaster! Even with the change of plans we had a leisurely start to…

Wow! The day started in minimalist mode at the Winkl-Landthal campsite where we’d left the van in a minimalist mode over night, to make a quick get away. We had wound the awning back in the night before and hadn’t even slept in the pop top. That meant we could skedaddle really early, with hardly…

Leisurely start this morning as we’re leaving the luxury of fitted sheets, all you can eat breakfast and an en-suite bathroom. Sue had to go for her 7:30, 5k run again this morning and managed to find the Chinese temple in the Englischer Garten. After breakfast we packed our bags and took a light load…

Another day another outing into Munich. It’s still good to wake up in a proper bed and not to cook breakfast. We had a leisurely brecky and then headed out for Dachau. We’d asked about how to get to the memorial at the front desk but we still ended up at a tram station instead…

After a decent night’s sleep holed up in the Munich Arrabella Park Best Western, we could properly attack Munich. Sue went for a run, first thing, to the English Garden and got a bit lost. And then lost her room key. Breakfast was at the hotel and nice not to have to cook anything. With…

It’s another travel day. But thankfully, after the over night rain, it was dry when we woke up. It had rained a lot over night, but the van hasn’t shown any signs of leaking and we were completely dry through the rain… that’s not really camping is it? Both of us had a shower up…

It’s wet. There’s no getting over it… it’s wet. We woke up to it having rained since 2 in the morning and the awning had taken on too much water… it had pooled and looked like it might have broken it… bugger!. We thought we had enough drainage angle, one side of the awning lowered,…

We hadn’t got much planned today as we’d done a bit of exploring by bus yesterday and were planning to do one of the Black Forest key attractions, a water-fall, as we head out tomorrow. So we decided to take a bike ride into Bühl, about 12km away. We chose a fairly flat route still…

So we’re camping on the edge of the Black Forest and we’ve got a few days here. We also got given a public transport pass as part of the campsite fee, so we decided to use the bus system and go and have a look at Baden Baden. It turns out that you can take…

Today was another travel day, about 220km from Trier to Achern… on the West side of the Black Forest. It was a quick pack-up today as we hadn’t set everything up for just one night. We enjoyed the campsite and the husband and wife that ran it… at least their relationship! The husband was Dutch…
