Day 11 - Neckar

Well… that was the worst nights sleep I think I’ve had so far. We are pitched across the road from a Church and the bells ring not only on the hour every hour, but also every 15 mins. I heard them from 3am to 5am…. Thankfully I wasn’t too grumpy when we got up at 7am. And I was in an even better mood after demolishing breakfast which consisted of coffee, bran flakes and a little bread roll whose direct translation is Chocolate Dwarf. All rather tasty!
After breakfast had gone down, and many of our neighbours had left, Charlie and I did a pairs campsite workouts, it does make me chuckle seeing people’s bemused faces when they walk past and see us doing our exercises.
After showers and a spot of lunch we took Marla for a walk in the other direction from camp, along the Neckar river and it was a beautiful day for a walk. We skirted the edge of some fields and the farmer came along and started to harvest the corn, it was a pretty impressive site. Back to camp for a well earned beer and pretzel and relax in the final warmth of the afternoon sun.
Dinner tonight was a vegan schnitzel with spätzle and red cabbage - stodgy and delicious! Now time to settle in for the night, maybe do a bit of crochet, but it’s definitely time to put some more clothes on. We’ve been in shorts and t shirt all day as it’s been lovely and sunny today but we’ve definitely been in the minority, I’ve just seen someone in jeans, jumper, padded gillet and woolie hat - it’s really not that cold!
I wasn’t sure at all about this site when we arrived yesterday, I didn’t get good vibes - mostly because of the road noise and lack of space on our little free for all meadow, but today has been a really nice day so I’m glad we stayed (very close to packing up first thing and finding somewhere else for today!)Read more
