Day off the bikes

Waking up to a beautiful morning in Bad Rodach, we knew we would have to be clever and lucky with the radar app to avoid a shower so decided to head South West.
Stopping at a Rewe for the, by now, obligatory coffee and pastry we covered approx 200 miles with no wet weather arriving in Pforzheim around 1530.
We are staying here 2 nights to allow huge thunderstorms to pass through and looking out the window as I write it was a good decision.
After getting the bikes unloaded and parked up safely in the hotel garage, it was a quick shower and find out what the town was like. Sadly, as I'm sure with so many others in Germany, it was not at all quaint as the RAF had done some re-modelling in 1945 destroying 83% of the town.
We met some nefarious German fellas in a nearby bar and shared some laughs and schnapps in broken Germlish.
After some currywurst and a final beer, it was off to bed with the knowledge that tomorrow was a rest day.Baca lagi
