Monday 2nd November – Rottenbuch, Germany

 Our coldest morning so far at 1.5°C and another day when we just relaxed. I did get out to collected bread from the bakery in the town. The bakers were on holiday until today so, although there was plenty of bread on offer, they were distinctly lacking in cakes. Just as well really as German cakes are delicious and far too tempting.
On the campsite building there is a large painting of a Roman(?) soldier pouring water onto a burning building. I was intrigued as to why it was there and asked when I went to stay. The language barrier made it difficult but, as I understood it, the grandfather of the current owners was the top man in the local fire station and he was the one who also established the campsite.
