8 July 2012


Friday 29th June and we are back at Rothenburg ob der Tauber.  We spent some time exploring the towers on the town walls and walking along the ramparts.  There is a music festival on in the town and we stopped to listen to an American brass band playing, in the square, and then into one of the churches to listen to the choir. Later on we went in search of the summer beir festival, which of course turned out to be a big disappointment, they only had about 3 different beers to try.

On Saturday we continued along the Romantic Road to Kitzingen and stayed on a stellplatze by the river. It was so hot in the afternoon around 34 degrees which inevitably led to another thunderstorm during the night.  Sunday we drove to Beitigheim Bissingen to a small stellplatz near a car park. We went for a walk around and on returning to the stellplatz noticed a dodgy looking character looking at the van. He went back to a car where there were another 3 dirty dodgy lookers who all seemed to be living in the car. Kev wanted to go to watch the final of the football in the pub along the road but we didn’t want to leave poor Blossom on her own in case they were waiting for us to go out again. I did offer to stay behind but we just watched the footie on our telly.

Because we were near to Stuttgart our plans were to go to the Porsche and Mercedes Museums but they are both closed on Mondays and it was still raining so we decided we can do that on another trip. We were going to go down to the Black Forrest and then into Switzerland but at the last minute changed our minds and headed north. One of the deciding factors was that the b….y sat nav is f….d again and we have to stop somewhere to contact tomtom and send the device back again, same fault as last time. We have chosen to stay on a site right on the Rhine at Oberwesel. The views are fantastic.  Anyway, the tomtom was picked up on Tuesday and should be back tomorrow, Monday, so we will have to decide where to go next, think we are heading for Paris.
