Another hot day in store today so I decide to wash the coach at 07:00 before it becomes too hot.
The hose I use is on a reel inside the hotel garage on the other side of the road but is still long enough to not only reach the coach but also go right around it!
I have already cleaned the windscreen so only have the rest of the body to do and that doesn't take very long.
Am sweating like a pig by the time I'm finished and even the shower I take afterwards doesn't seem to cool me down. Am leaking at breakfast so end up sitting outside. Can't wait to get going and have some cool air on me.
We are visiting Freiburg and titisee today and the journey to Freiburg this morning was nothing short of stunning. The scenery and colours were out of this world and with not a lot of traffic about it is a pleasure to be driving on days like this.
Not so pleasurable in Freiburg though! I am coming in from a different way to which I have been before so am a little concerned about finding the coach park close to the old town. As I have said before I have stupidly left my maps behind but Anne Marie has given me a copy of a map with the coach dropping off point on it. I put this road into the sat nav.
I reach Freiburg and follow the onscreen instructions only to be led to a road that is a dead end! I turn around and try again. Thankfully almost straight away I pick up the coach parking signs and am directed to a coach parking area on the edge of the old town and just across the road from where the sat nav took me. It is not where I parked before but is close enough to the town and also is on the side of a shaded river bank which today could be very useful.
Once the passengers are off I realise I can't park here without what looks like a parking permit so I go off in search of the signposted coach park. They are a bit frugal with their signs so after a couple of incorrect guesses I finish up in the coach park that is actually the local tram and bus depot located a couple of miles from the centre.
I am parked in the sun and it is 32 degrees! Bloody hot and am glad I decided to wear shorts this morning.
When I drive back to pick them up most are standing or sitting in the shade of the trees. It actually feels hotter than it is.
We are away from Freiburg by 13:15.
Titisee is only about half an hour away and as we approach this very popular resort the sky has turned from blue to black!
The coach park is nearly full but we manage to find a space and off they go to explore.
I have a little walk around and then go back to he bus hoping to get some work done but it is still to hot to sit inside.
Gradually they all come back and a few have been out on the lake for a boat ride while others have just wandered around the shops and eaten Black Forest Gateaux.
The journey back to Schonach takes less than an hour and is still stunning. A good, but very warm, day out.
