Thursday 25 September

Our route today took us past Koblenz and Frankfurt, using the autobahns. We encountered some quite heavy rain showers along the way and coupled with the very busy roads and frequent roadworks it was a tiring drive. Not until we had cleared the intriguing architecture of Frankfurt Airport did the weather dry out. But at least it is not cold.


After lunch, whilst not actually too far from our intended destination of Wurzburg, we ran into a monumental traffic jam and moved very little in half an hour. Fortunately we were quite close to an Ausfahrt (exit to you and me) so we joined a lot of other vehicles and left the autobahn. We have a good map of Germany and a little bit of cross country on minor roads brought us onto a decent “B” road which followed the River Main.


This was much better and after passing through several pretty Bavarian villages we spotted another free stelleplatz at Zellingen, which turned out to be a strengthened verge at the end of a road behind the (closed) campsite. Again no services  although there were toilets nearby so we could empty the WC, and with 2 other vans also parked up we passed a peaceful night – that is, apart from the main-line railway which runs along the river, although that thankfully quietened down late on.
