Well we were exhausted from a huge day yesterday. Finally hitting the sack last night at midnight. I had a lovely birthday. So as the weather was inclement we were slow to get organised and unfortunately had to cancel our planned hike as with the rain it would have been too tricky and we thought it might be dangerous as well. So it was time to drive to our next destination about a 4 hour drive. A small town in the middle of the black forest called Bad Peterstal-Griesbach. It was a lovely drive once we got off the motorway. DB changed his course just to get off the motorway sooner as it takes enormous amounts of concentration and is very tiring as the speeds are phenomenal.

As in most small towns the language barrier and use of credit card is usually a problem. I had little issues in the small supermarket because I didn’t weigh the veggies and put a sticker on them, this happened in France but we had stopped looking for this as we hadn’t had to do it so far this holiday. The lady was quite pleasant about it and decided it was easier to go do it herself than try to explain it. We had a little giggle about it with her.

Our first home cooked meal since we left Benny. It is so lovely to just have a basic stir fry and stay in rather than find somewhere for dinner and translate the entire menu.

I am now lying in bed listening to the hymns from the church service next door. Might go to mass one day whilst I am here.

It is nice to be resting as we have had a very tiring few days. The plans are to have a couple of days here to rest a little and recover from our hectic schedule so far. I don’t know how DB does all the driving because every time we have a long drive to do I jut can’t keep my eyes open.
