Finished off the Rhine River and headed south towards the Black Forest. We were going to stop in Heidelberg, but when we pulled into the camp site we could see that it was full of English football fans. After deciding that maybe this wasn’t going to be very restful we then decided to head off into the Black Forest (couple of hours drive) and gain a day in our itinerary (a move that would prove one of the smartest we have made so far).
Saw some really great places along the way and I have to say that as a travel destination, Germany is hard to beat, as it has a huge variety of areas and sights that will please everyone.
We had our second brush with royalty on this trip (remember the Dutch royal family in Brussels), well this time it was Aussie royalty, and no we didn’t see Princess Mary or even Dame Edna. We were at this beautiful lakeside village called Titisee in the Black Forest and just as we were pulling out of the car park of this nice hotel 4 scooters pulled up just past us and who gets off one of them but
Rach and her BIG bratwurst
Rach loves a big sausage !! Gus Hiddink. By the time I realised who it was I was already on the road and when your driving on the wrong side of the road which means your on the wrong side of the car, you don’t make any rash manoeuvres. So despite seeing Gus, we didn’t get any closer than that. I would have liked to go up to him and say thanks for a great job, and come back to Aus anytime to give us some more tips.
On the way to the Black Forest we also passed through Baden Baden which is a great little spa town where the English football team have been based. Rach was hanging out the window trying to get a glimpse of Posh and Becks, but really she only wanted to see Beckham walking down the street with his shirt off. Bad luck for her they were nowhere to be seen.
