Where's Bertie? He's in a Stellplatz in Eppingen, where electricity costs €1 per 2kWh, and water and waste cost €1 each.
Weather: Sunny start and sunny evening with varying amounts of cloud in between. Very warm.
Our day was not over when I posted yesterday's blog. At about 7.30pm we set off to walk back into town, which is a decent length of stroll away from the motorhome parking, to find ourselves somewhere to watch England's first match in the World Cup. I'm sure the bars would have been buzzing with people shouting at the TVs on Sunday afternoon, when Germany was playing, but to watch a couple of foreign teams play we had no problem with finding a front row seat and joining the only two other people intent on watching the match. Mick was the only person who reacted in any way to what was going on on-screen.
A couple of hours later we left, Mick happy that Harry Kane had grabbed a late winning goal, and me happy that I had made good progress on the sock I'm currently knitting.
Mick with beer and football; me with knitting and water. I am so Rock n Roll!
With the late kick-off (8pm local time) and a decent stroll back to Bertie after the match finished, it wasn't the earliest of nights.
Accordingly, it wasn't the earliest of mornings either, and I probably would have lounged around in bed even longer if it hadn't been for a desire to run before the day got too hot. I took myself around the outer perimeter of the Schlossgarten and sweated in a very unladylike way. I'm going to have to start getting up earlier.
Grocery shopping before we left was an easy affair, with Lidl being about 100 paces from Bertie's door and once our haul had been stowed (which always seems to involve a game of 'fridge Tetris' even tough Bertie's fridge is very generously sized), we were away. Again, it wasn't a long journey, taking us 45km to the town of Eppingen (twinned with Epping in the UK, appropriately).
The town looked like it was going to be interesting as we caught sight of it on our drive in, so soon after lunch we walked the very short distance to the centre. This is the first notable building we passed on our way...
...and from there it was half-timbered houses agogo, many of them exhibiting a delightful wonkiness:
The town is not a big one and it didn't take us long to decide that we had seen all there was to see, whereafter we ambled along some of the cycle paths nearby, not that we found anything noteworthy there.
Our preference at the moment is to spend at least two nights everywhere we can and whilst Eppingen it is a very attractive town, I'm struggling to think of what we might do here tomorrow if we stay. As there are a lot of Stellpltäze in this area, I'm favouring a short hop to another one, to see what we find there.
Yet another 'I've no idea!', this time in the form of a water tap.
