We're at the campsite near Steinach in the Black Forest! After unpacking Toni made some scrummy tuna melts, in our kitchen, and is now catching up with some sewing (really) and other household chores, as a good wife should. So I get to write some words today.
Even though it's raining heavily outside this is undoubtedly the most luxurious place we've been. We have two bedrooms, a lounge, a kitchen, 6 chairs, a table, a bbq and a table, all to ourselves. The campsite has WiFi (can’t access from tent tho) which oddly is the only place we’ve stayed so far with free internet access. We expected to find Germany easier than Poland for hotspots, but it hasn’t been the case. (Not free ones, at least). (Toni is sat at the table complaining that she needs her mum to do the sewing as she keeps pricking her fingers – lol!).
We had excellent driving today, even given the poor weather. We stopped at Titisee, a small lake and tourist trap, on the way from Constance – very nice, lots of bikers. Then we popped into Freiberg for some lunch – what a contrast with Constance where we found ourselves very disappointed. On the way back from dinner last night there was a gang fight outside our hotel which both surprised and disappointed us. But Constance wasn’t the town we’d expected from research on the Internet. Freiberg, however, was very pretty – typically European with a Dom in the centre and a tram system that wasn’t hacked together as a transportation afterthought.
The roads from Freiberg to the campsite were awesome – just a pity about the rain. Toni found the site on the Internet before we left – Canvas Holidays. It’s working out at about £33 per night and we totally love it here. Hopefully over the next 3 days we’ll get to wander around the Black Forest area, either on foot or with the bike. So more pictures and ramblings to follow soon.
That’s all for now, folks.
Jon & Toni.
Toni looking over Lake Titisee - very touristy but worth a visit all the same.
The fire brigade practising...?
Look at the bread! Man alive - it's amazing! So we bought some for tea tonight - very scrumptious ;-)
Popular place for bikers - some of these bikes are nearly as cool as ours!!!
A service in the Dom in Freiburg - who say's we never attend!?
Chillin' in the new lodgings - the best so far. Driver on the left, chef and navigator on the right :-)
