Monday 5th April

Monday 5th April.....Sorted out Landy and trailer, got cooker set up in the back of Landy, it didn't work well outside in the wind, much easier to make tea now!......11am on the road to Munich, through the woods and then very very narrow streets.....satnav said "board ferry" what? Beverley says "satnav needs to go into mental hospital especially for insane satnavs"....The ferry is there to cross the river, satnav seems to think we are driving a mini, me and B. say "NO WAY" but Lee says "Why not? How hard can it be?" We're aboard----cost 7.50 and we crossed the Rhein from Boppard to Kestert...This is a beautiful valley stepped with vines; at a place called Lorch we see sign...The Reisling Route. There is so much traffic on the smaller roads, we think because of bank holiday, have decided to go back on the motorway for a while and get moving----Mainz--Karlruke--past Stuttgart to Ulm or just underneath Ulm at a place called Laupheim, the home of Holly, Kirston, Tim and Yasmin, (whom we met on holday in Austria last year) should arrive about 6.30.-----Arrived--parked on drive-no-body home, started chopping onions and garlic for sauce and cooking pasta....7.30 Holly and Kirston drove in behind trailer, (without the children, they had stayed at their grandparents), good surprise for them.They insisted that we sleep in their house---Holly kept saying "our castle is your castle"...After many beers off to bed.
