On Thursday 7th June we moved across the border from Austria to Germany and stayed at the village of Bolderswang where we went for a walk in the fields and woods.
Here's a view back to where we were parked from high up in the woods.
Friday 8th June was a vile wet day. We intended to stay by the Bodensee (Lake Constanz) but it was so wet and windy that we moved on to Donaueschin just south of the Black Forest.
On Saturday 9th June we moved north into the Black Forest and stayed in a layby on the "scwarzwaldhochstrasse" (High Black Forest Road) where we had this incredible view from our van.
We crossed the Rhine at Karlsruhe and spent the night at the town of Kandal.
The aire at Kandal.
On Monday 11th June we moved on to Rockenhausen where we were greeted by more torrential downpours.
On Tuesday 12th June we moved on to Bacharach on the Rhine between Mainz and Koblenz. It rained almost continuously all day and night. The Rhine here flows through a deep gorge with a railway and road on each side and large boats continually going up and down.
Today Wednesday 13th June was particularly nasty weather wise. It rained heavily all day. We continued down the Rhine to Koblenz and then went up the Mosel as far as Neumagon-Dhon, close to the border with Luxembourg, where we are staying the night. We passed through enormous vinyards the whole way streching up both sides of the Mosel Valley
