First there was no air conditioning and second our second floor window opened just above the square with folks walking drinking and even singing the night away. In Vienna we prayed for hot weather and now got our prayers answered. It was about 90 degrees in our ro http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Germany/Baden-Wurttemberg/Baden-Baden/blog-733829.html After the great day in the Ruette Austria area we had a new challenge. Before leaving the USA I had booked rooms for the first eight nights of our trip. I also have rooms booked for the last week of the trip three days in Normandy and four in Paris.But now for the first time we were having to decide before sleeping where we would be driving to the following day.

We had breakfast with our new friends from Boise Idaho then hit the open road. We did not really have much of a plan. We headed to BadenBaden. Managed a few minutes on the autobahn. The car hit 215 km per hour without breaking a sweat or any traffic laws.ltspangt In BadenBaden we explored the ruins of a castle on the hills overlooking the spa town below. We then too http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Germany/Baden-Wurttemberg/Baden-Baden/blog-713009.html It rained and it rained and it rained overnight. Like last year we left a hot summer in England just to endup with rain. It did mean that it was quite cool first thing in the morning so it was good conditions to go for a run and see some more of Baden Baden. The parkland along the river was lovely and there were some great views around the town.I went back to some points with the camera later to http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Germany/Baden-Wurttemberg/Baden-Baden/blog-633208.html We left at 5.00am in order to make sure that we had ample time to get to Dover to catch our 8.15am ferry allowing for predictable roadworks and other issues on the M25. Respect to Sea France in that they sent us a text letting us know about some roadworks on the M20 so warning us to allow some extra time to get there. In the end we got there with plenty of time to spare which meant that http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Germany/Baden-Wurttemberg/Baden-Baden/blog-633207.html We get up and have breakfast at the Zimmer where we stayed.

Baden Baden is a tourist town built around the natural hot springs. The Romans had a lot to do with the set up but it seems that the Russians have moved in now to run things.

Germany was much more beautiful than France and the hotel and restaurant we toured was very nice. We received a tour of the hotel which managed to blend the local atmosphere with a modern twist.
