Started at about 6.45 a.m. in very foggy weather. Got a bit lost during the morning. Luxembourg town was very pretty and the weather warm. When we reached Germany we were stopped by the police for speeding round a bend. We pretended not to understand and they let us go without paying a fine. We were caught in a thunder-storm outside Stuttgart. Travelled most of the way on the Autobahn. Stopped at 7.30 p.m. outside Ulm for the night where we camped just off the road by a grain store.

The concierge of the flat where we were staying said he would order a taxi for us this morning but no taxis were available so he kindly took us in his own car to the bus stop, the 20 minute journey took nearly an hour. We caught the Flixbus which was surprisingly comfortable. We spent some time in the afternoon trying to locate the exact spot where the photo above was taken but of course after 50 years everything has changed. Here are a couple of candidates.
I think the one with the trees is the right spot!
ReplyDeleteWhen we reached Germany we were stopped by police for speeding too! Christine got away with it too, I spoke to them being a dum English tourist and they waved her through after me 😂
ReplyDeleteThough travel brings many wonderful experiences, it’s often the missed trains, wrong turns, and unexpected events that stay with us the most vividly in memory, turning mishaps into the most interesting stories we tell! Keep going! Yes looks like you’ve found the right place!!
