Black Forest: This will be a short entry. Lots of back roads, U-turns, a wrong turn costing us approximately 1 hour, an average coffee, a bit of scenery but no Black Forest and about 5 hours later we are at our destination. Worst day of driving by far. With the good comes the BAD hey. That’s right Baden- Baden!
Baden-Baden: This hidden, somewhat unknown spa town also really surprised us. Covered in flowers and open squares, you could stroll around the streets for as long as you soak in the thermal waters. Mind you, the Caracalla Thermal Pools were 3 hours of magic – especially after hours of walking, riding and then sitting while on the road. The ears had a rest as well, very hard to hear when you have your ears underwater. Gerard of course was also very impressed with the Lowenbrau beer garden and mammoth schnitzels (which he in fact didn’t order and was very lucky Bee shared).
