Hello!! We’re back…..Finally there’s been a bit of breathing space between the relaxing to get some more of the blog done! We woke up this morning to glorious weather and decided that 1 final stop in Austria before crossing over to Hungary would be in order. Just a short,...

Day 31-33 : Vienna, Austria
Day 1 in Vienna As we set off from Teichhauser on Saturday morning heading for Vienna the first thing we did was ask Google where on earth we could find someone to issue us a vignette for entering Vienna as it’s a controlled environment zone. Google told us that...
Day 30 : Teichhauser, Austria
I think perhaps I need to explain the picture for the last post. Did you know (and we didn’t!!) that it is legal to grow hemp and marijuana in Austria as long as it used for scientific or medicinal purposes ?? In Reingers we had seen pictures of the...
Day 29 : Reingers, Austria
Oh my word….but it seems like ages since I lasted posted. Well, actually it is. Since the last post we have already traversed 2 countries and are in our 3rd new country! It’s been really wonderful taking a break and just doing naught but it’s time again to update...
Day 27-28 : Prague, Czech Republic
It’s border crossing day today! Always a little nerve-racking on our last big trip. This time…. well, see for yourself. That was the border and immediately after it, a garage with cheap fuel, LPG and a cash machine – all very cosmopolitan. And loads of German registered cars filling...

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...
Day 22-25 : Sonnen, Germany

Day 21 : Lindau, Germany
Here we are finally at the very southern end of Germany in a village on the edge of Lake Constance or as it’s known in Germany, Bodensee. The drive down through the Black Forest has been gorgeous and we have been surrounded by beautiful landscapes all day. ...
Day 20 : Hausach, Germany
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...
Day 19 : Bad Durkheim, Germany
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...
