Yawn, not much to say here…oh yes, on the way to Landau we finally managed to find a piece of Schwarzewaldekirschkuchen (or Black Forest cake to you and me) but it left us a little underwhelmed.  I think we should have had this when we were in the Black...

A second day in Bad Durkheim was brought to an abrupt halt when we discovered that the Turkish Baths that we were going to visit (for a bit of hot and cold water therapy and a beating with some leaves & branches ) was closed today. So instead we...

Waving Anja, Jeorg and Emil goodbye, we set off in, would you believe it, bright sunshine again in the direction of Daremstadt, the home of bwa-ha-ha-ha-HA-HA *suitable spooky laugh*, cue da-da-DAAAH on an upright piano, a dark night, crashing thunder, lightning flashing across the sky …… and here we...
