Up at 07:00 to put €1 in the electricity meter and tune in
to ITV1 for the England v Romania Rugby World Cup match build-up. Kick off was
at 08:00 German time and England were soon putting on their best performance of
the World Cup so far. We thoroughly enjoyed watching England score 10 tries in
a totally convincing display however we need to reduce our penalty count or we
will be punished by better teams in later rounds. We then watched an awesome
New Zealand team beat a disappointing France – the All Blacks are going to be
very difficult to beat.
After lunch we set off on the walk that we intended to do
yesterday. We found a marked footpath (there are many very well marked walks in
the area) that took us alongside a stream up a quiet, pretty valley to the
village of Maisach. Retracing our steps we took another path that passed above
the stellplatz and found ourselves in a park overlooking the town. The weather
was glorious, very warm and not a cloud in the sky and we decided to treat
ourselves to a beer at the romantically named 'Mini Golf Bar'. We sat out in
the sun looking down on the town and up the wooded valley. Continuing down
through the town we arrived at the Rench river and the railway station. Here we
found a small supermarket and were able to buy some local Neuewein (new wine,
like Beaujolais Nouveau). Walking up the opposite side of the valley we were
able to get a different view over the town before we descended to the
stellplatz and Henrietta.
The Neuewein (we chose the red) was very good, slightly
sweet and very fruity, best drunk without food in my humble opinion.
