Sept 6th
It rained during the night but by 11AM it was bright & clear, a clip had dislodged
itself from a lead in the Battery & caused trouble with the Starter. It was put right & we left
the Site at 1PM & entered Germany. We had no trouble at the border with Customs &
went towards Saarbrucken on the Motorway, then on to Karsers Lantern1 then made our
way down towards Launden2 & on towards Kurlsrune3, we made several enquiries for
the Location of a Camp Site but without success, so we drove into a Lay by after we
had passed Ettlingon4, it was now 8PM & the milage 3837.
Sept 7th
We were up early, as road parking is not permitted in Germany & drove towards Phorzhen1
We lost our way frequently but eventually found the Autobarn on the road to Stuttgart, the
weather was now good, but the traffic was heavy, after leaving Stuttgart we had to turn
left & climb up hill for about 8 miles. Kept in low gear because of the near side drop
of over 200ft, we took great care at this stage of the journey. The German Motorways
have Petrol Stations, we filled up & considered we should have enough to see us over the
Austrian Border, at this stage we had covered the first 1000 miles of the journey from
Cornwall. We entered Austria continued along the road for a few miles then found
a Camp Site, it is situated behind a Shell Garage at Kufstien2, there was only
a few Motor Caravans here & settled down for the night. This is the first time that
I had seen Mountains.
