Bavaria still, forests and towns

 This is the signpost that signifies that you are leaving our little hamlet....notice that the next little town is 1 km away....you simply pass through numerous little towns some with several homes....others with many.....but usually there are no shops, no petrol stations etc maybe a pub if you are lucky.....the chain supermarkets have put them out of business.....so these towns are purely residential. Each home might own land that surrounds town but they cluster their homes together which harks back to old times .....it was safer that way....back in Australia we all live on our plot and fence it off so that farm homes are on their own discreet property.

 The forest owned by our host

 Frogs everywhere around your feet.

 More Romantic Road stuff here...this town is called Schwabish Hall...note the covered bridge behind me....there are heaps of them here.We loved this place....it was Saturday arvo and there were street markets too. The locals are friendly and come up and talk to you....in German first of course!

 Inside a bridge.


These scenes are typical of the Romantic Road towns. It has a very different feel to Belgium.
