Fulda

We have been very spoilt the last three days; a real size shower and real size bed! Yes, left Dirk's and Brigitte's hospitality and back on the road. 

Dirk's amazing photo graph on the wall in his lounge room. Early morning near the Elbe River in Saxon Switzerland (Sächsische Schweiz). 

The very obedient Butch in trouble! "It was only a rabbit!"

Roof top gardens don't get taxed but all other roofs do!  And Hymer Hilton, as always, close by.

After a little tooing-and-froing (we left a case behind!) and a visit to the air-conditioning garage, we set our sights on  the town of Fulda. Fulda has been at the crossroads of great armies over the centuries- Napoleons saw the Fulda Gap as a very convenient pathway to his ambitions in Russia. The Americans also saw the strategic nature of this location during the Cold War and had a military base in this area. Thus ends today's history lesson.

The threat of thunder storms has focused the preparations of all the motorhomers here tonight. It is still about thirty degrees and it is becoming very threatening.
