Sunday 28 September

A “Sunday morning” departure after a chat with a Brit couple going “the other way” along the Romantische Strasse. We noticed how very quiet everywhere was, despite it being a glorious warm morning, until we got to Feuchtwergen where they were celebrating a (beer) festival. Of course it’s the season of Oktoberfest and the place was heaving. Cars were being parked up to 2km out of town and there was NO chance of getting onto the stellplatz!  We didn't particularly want to stop anyway, but it did hold us up for a while.

Come to the party!

You can get a taxi!




Dinkelsbuhl - most places have a tower gateway

Next place on the agenda was the attractively named Dinkelsbuhl and indeed what we saw of it through the heavy mist that had suddenly dropped down looked nice. However the only m/h parking places were too short for us and we would have blocked everyone else in so decided to give it a miss.
So once again playing hunt-the-road-sign (the signposting for the R/S is very hit and miss, quite often confirming you are on the route but not actually giving any directions) we continued a very pleasant drive to Nordlingen, another walled town. Plenty of (free) parking here so we stopped for lunch, intending to explore afterwards. But for no apparent reason we realised we were both very tired so decided to stay put and have a snooze in the sun………..


After tea we finished off the last of the NCIS boxed DVD’s and our day ended there.

Roundabout Art (you thought we'd forgotten didn't you?)
