43. Dinkelsbuhl - Ingelheim am Rhein

Today we woke to school children everywhere around us... we had realised that the so-called 'CampingPlatz' was in a school car park and we weren't sure we were allowed to be there. We quickly wipped of the windscreen cover and got the ramps in and headed off before we were told off... We headed down to the pool car park, which is close to the town centre of Dinkelsbuhl for us to leave Maddy for an hour or so.

After sorting Maddy (who is making vast improvements) we had some breakfast and headed into the fortified town of Dinkelsbuhl; it was stunning with all the multicoloured , medieval houses. We had a nice walk around and went to the gate houses which was cool.

Afterwards, we headed to our next stop, which was Rothenburg ob der Tauber, which was like Dinkelsbuhl's big brother. Very similar but on a much bigger scale. We can see why these 2 towns are so popular as they feel so traditionally German and very picturesque. We strolled around the old town for a while before stopping for a lovely coffee in the main square. We visited the famous german square which was beautiful and you can see why it is the face of German marketing.

After a good while we headed onto our next stop, a 2 1/2 hour drive to just past Mainz. It was super sunny which made a pleasant drive, we passed some cool cars and a whole brigade of police officers in all types of vehicles.

We arrived and made camp for the night & took Maddy out. We couldn't believe the difference in her, she seemed much more steady on her feet and her eyes have stopped twitching. We still feel it's the best decision coming north as we can still shoot home if she gets worse. Noodle stir fry for tea before we start our Rhine route up through Germany, the next section should be really beautiful.Baca selengkapnya
