Day 3


We had decided that after a couple of days on the road that a day of rest was called for. It was lovely to spend the day relaxing enjoying the beautiful scenery and weather. We visited a localsupermarket (cheaper than Belgium) which was fine apart from both Dave and I put our shopping in someone else's trolley - we might not speak German but we understood in no uncertain terms when the owner came back! I have found it quite a challenge not neing able to communicate here in Germany. I am so used to being to find out information wherever we are. Another lifetime goal for me to pick up enough German at least to get by. We went for a dip in the pool too although I can't say the boys loved it as it was rather nippy!! We didn't see anyone else in the pool the whole time and now we know why. In the evening we went for a drive (nice not to have the caravan on tow) and for a bit of an explore. The river was actually quite narrow near our site and widened out as we drove.

  2. Thanks Clare. It is lovely. We are going into Switzerland tomorrow which should be stunning, but a bit scarey too.
