Day 4 Lauterbourg to Titisee

Gentle day today, just 148m. Bit of a lie in then one of our German neighbours invited over to his motorhome to sit and have breakfast. He recommended the D500 (known locally as the German Route 66 apparently) which we'd already planned to do anyway. He told us that Freiburg is lovely and we should try Landjaeger sausage while we're there. Germanys finest sausage according to our host and the best butcher to get it from is near Glottertal. Before we left he walked over and gave us a disposable BBQ for our travels which was jolly decent of him. We're just sat cooking tea on it now!

We crossed the border back into Germany on a little roll on roll off car ferry across the Rhein. Very civilised and a completely free service.

Picked up the Black Forest High Road (D500 from Baden-Baden south to Freudenstadt). It's a magnificent piece of road.

Found this little dry bobsleigh slope and paid a few euros for a go. They obviously recognized us as pro when we turned up in full leathers and they were right. Once we'd confirmed the sleigh couldn't leave the track we did the whole run without touching the brakes. They left a massive gap between us and the sleigh in front and behind for everyone's safety.

D294 and D500 south to Titisee - our first rude place name this trip!

Had some rain and cold weather today. If we don't get super hot weather tomorrow we're gonna hoof it down to the Italian lakes or south of France. We're trés cosmopolitan you know.

Catherine's found some wild strawberries next to her tent. Says they go lovely with her 2 euro bottle of wine! It would appear that yesterday's wine tasting taught her nothing. Honestly, you can take the girl out of Hull but...
