So we had a lazy morning – I updated the blog and Dave was messing about on his computer (like he does !!!)
I made us a nice fruit salad and then we set off supposedly for “The B500” (which is apparently the iconic road through The Black Forest 🌳 – as Route 66 is to California)…
So we picked a campsite and both Google Maps AND our Garmin (Motorhome SatNav) tried to send us via the motorway (as it was a more direct route and thus quicker) and after we stopped for fuel (quite soon after we left the previous campsite) I googled it again and dragged the route over to go down the B500 and advised Dave (strongly) to hang a right – but no – being a man, always being right, etc. he went left…
He got himself on the B500, informed me I had been wrong and told me to get a photo of the B500 sign on the road – which I did. However – as you can see – it’s on the way to Paris – i.e. we were heading north not south – but it still took a while to eventually realise this and go round the roundabout and back on the other side 😂😂😂
Anyway – it WAS a lovely route (if a bit steep and lairy in places – at one point where they had closed the road and Dave had to do a 3-point turn on the edge of a cliff where they were hang-gliding off the edge, I shut my eyes and hung onto the arms of my chair !!!)
It was too busy to park at the BEST photo-opportunity place but we pulled over and had lunch and took a couple of photos anyway…
Notice the “bald” trees – bit of trivia – some beetle has been feasting on the trees (I would have given you a more informative explanation but the mobile phone and data coverage here is shocking !!!
And (sadly) the tribute to the motorcyclist who sadly lost his life at the side of the road… 💗💋 xxx > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >
