Germany 2007, Day Ten

Day ten 12th June

Back on the train again tday, this time to Calw, one of the towns we had gone through the day before.  I thought we may be able to pick up an older copy of AutoRoute in a small PC shop, so I was on the lookout as we walk around sightseeing.  A very helpful lady in an art supply shop drew me directions on a map, of how to find a computer shop. Calw in another very pretty town and we had a good walk around the shops until we found the large department store where the PC shop was.




They only had one routing program, very reasonable price but it didn't have a GPS feature, so not what I was looking for. By now we are a bit peckish and the smell of food from from the department store restaurant was just too much for us and we have to get something.  After being served we sat outside to have our meal in the sun but it is was far too hot, but we just put up with it as we could not be bothered to move. We also had a nice beer with the meal, so that helped cool us down slightly.

We were a bit short of cash (its in the safe in the van) but there is a bank with exchange rates in the window so we pop it to get the £40.00 in my wallet changed. "Have you got your passport with you" asks the cashier, "sorry no" I say (its also in the safe in the van), "we need a passport don't we" the cashier asks another assistant, "no" replies the other assistant, "you don't need a passport" the cashier tell me, "that's good" I reply. It was good, a good exchange rate and no commission.  Before going to get the train back to Bad Liebenzell, we sat outside a bar for a beer in the sun but the waiter game out and said that they had just closed, where are we, England.


By the time we got back to the site was still only 16:00, so it was off to the pool for a quiet couple of hours, cooling in water, before heading into town for something to eat on our last night night in Bad Liebenzell.


Before eating, we had a nice walk in the park and then by the river for one last time. Later back at the van we had a few more beers.
