The Colour of Germany
Sunday 25-7-10
Another night in Heidelbourg, it has rained nonstop all night, so a big wash out for all the Webber fans, they mostly sit out in the open at the race track, we have a covered seat so we will be ok. The Germans’ are big drinkers, the pubs stay open late and the drunks keep us awake as they sing their way home. And even if you wanted to sleep in, Gods house reminds you that it is time to get up, the sound of the ringing bells walks you up early. Although not as bad as the Abby, where the bells rang every hour.
Monday 26-7-10
We traveled through the hills of southern Germany, passing small villages with great views of the surrounding mountains. Each tiny town was a wash of color, as in France, the local houses have placed hanging baskets full of flowers outside every window. Even the local council has arranged beautiful hanging baskets on every bridge and lamppost. The roundabouts are mini gardens full of color. We stayed in a small town called BAD Kioken and in spite of the name found the people to be friendly and helpful.
I must tell you about the dogs, dogs are allowed in restaurants, shops, trains, buses, hotels, even the up market ones. Everywhere there are these little dogs, being pulled along by fashion conscious people, just as if the latest style in handbags little dogs are part of the trend set. Somehow, I cannot see Mac and Billie sitting quietly in a plush restaurants while we have our meal.
