Flair Hotel Goldenes Rad Ulm

... place we really did not know where to go but finally decided on a little place on the border of France and Switzerland called Mulhouse.

After the day we had had we decided to go for a drink and some cocktails we met a really lovely German couple who we had some great conversations with on Politics, Green Issues and the war a subject that should not really be talked about with the Germans but they were happy to ...

So liebe Leute...
In wenigen Stunden heißt es auch schon "Good bye old Germany"!
Mit gemischten Gefühlen werden jetzt noch die letzten Sachen gepackt und so langsam realisiert man erst wirklich, dass man für ein ganzes halbes Jahr irgendwo auf der Welt unterwegs sein wird!
In den letzten Wochen hieß es noch arbeite arbeiten und nochmal arbeiten, um auch genügend Geld für diesen ...

I really dont have much time, so I´ll just say today was mostly driving.

We stopped at Ulm, where Einstein was born, for a quick touristy picture of the monument where his house used to be, as well as tooons of pics of the beautiful Ul Müenster (or something like that ...

... Sonntag haben wir 2 Bäume Zwetschgen geschüttelt und die Dinger - Gott sei Dank zu sechst - 2 1/2 Stunden aufgelesen. Siglinde hat ein Großteil davon zum Schnaps machen abgenommen, den Rest hab ich verteilt und eingefroren.
Gestern war ich auf Betriebsausflug in Ravensburg (Stadtbesichtigung), in Weingarten (Basilika gucken) und in Bad Buchau (Führung vom NABU am Federsee). War ...

Back on the River Danube, we are at our final stop of the road trip. We thought it would be nice for my parents (an me!) to see the tallest church in the world.

We parked a bit of a distance but with a clear view of the cathedral tower and navigated our way towards the massive beacon. We stopped at a cafe for a drink before heading into the church. I knew that Lincoln could not go into the cathedral but I was hoping he could go up the ...

... uneventful. Upon arriving, it naturally began to rain. However, it quickly dried up and became quite beautiful. Our room was ready, even though we were early, so we brought in our stuff and the kids ran around, very pleased to be staying at Legoland. The main floor of our suite had a double bed, and stacked singles. Up in the loft, Marigan and Donovan each had a single bed. The ladder up to the ...

... nice expensive waterproof gloves...need those, we have learnt that from the previous week...and the shop even sold me pepperspary, something we cant buy in Australia but here you can in a cycle shop?? (am preparing myself for the dogs in Romania). We arrived at the campground around 3.30pm. It was a great scene, everybody sitting outside their tents, having a drink and a good old chat. Something we had not been able to do for a while...9.30pm all in bed, an orchestra of ...

What started as a trickle is now a full-sized river. We made Ulm today. A town just east of Rottenacker. (See photo). We have done over 1000km now, and it feels like it :) Recent achievements: - Chris very pleased with new mudguards, performing well in the downpours - Paul`s chain falls off for the first time. He borrows some of my rubber gloves to put it back on. I have already used 4 ...

... but was the length of the day worth it? Thank God we have tomorrow off. I pity the poor people who are going to Munich tomorrow. Tomorrow we are on our own schedule, at our own pace. Someday though, we will have to get to Munich. We have already had two opportunities to do so and have passed them both up.
