| Nice lunch on a damp cold day |
With rain still pattering down
off and on all night, and chilly temperatures we sat down this morning with our
maps. We have enjoyed just cruising around in the North East for the past 10
days, enjoying the historic villages but realised that we have just over 3
weeks left in Europe before heading to Conny and Gerharts, in Dusseldorf at the
beginning of November to get some servicing work done on Ruakiwi. So decision
made to head to the South west near Strasbourg and have a wander around this
corner of Germany and France, and hopefully some warmer drier weather.
We stopped in Waren this
morning and what a great feeling this holiday town has, mind you being end of
season the crowds weren’t here so we enjoyed the atmosphere….with the odd
shower of rain included! Ian was most impressed with the barges that had a
caravan body on them to use as Lake House boats. Even saw brochures of barges
where smaller motorhomes can be driven on to cruise the lake – maybe we need
these at Tarawera!
After pottering around the cobbled
streets, as always enjoying the old historic buildings and car free areas, we
had a really nice fish lunch at a café on the waterfront. Nice young guy helped
us try and read the menu, he was a university student and could speak English
but said he gets little opportunity to use it.
By two, we were on the road,
set Jilly to the south and before long we were on the autobahn. Cruising at 100kph
in the slow lane with cars whizzing past us as there is no speed limit. But it
didn’t last long as we had numerous traffic delays. The temperatures were
sitting at 10 or below and the showers came and went as we crawled along. I
found a Stellplatz not far off the autobahn at the town of Bad Belzig and we
arrived just before six. A rather nice spot, with an area for Motorhomes beside
the car park for the hot pools….realised the word “Bad” in the towns name means
it has a “spa” or hot pool.
