Where's Bertie? He's still at the Stellplatz at Lauffen.
Weather: Wall-to-wall sunshine to start, clouding over later, before clearing again. Pleasantly warm.
There's nothing to write home about today.
A run for me first thing, along the river and through the vinyards under a clear sky:
A walk into town later...
Looking across the river when standing with our backs towards the 'new' town
...took us past this sculpture, sited on a traffic roundabout:
"What's that about?" we wondered, but not for long, because I spotted an information sign across the road. Google Translate came to the rescue.
A detour was taken on the way back to take us over the new bridge, from where we could look down into the major civil engineering project currently taking place in one of the pair of locks below. I'm not sure whether it's just us, but we do find major building projects fascinating and can often be found paused at viewing points to see what's going on.
We had already stood and watched a digger at work on a different building site, excavating a trench that left just about a foot's width of earth between the hole and the adjacent river. This lock project was by far the most interesting, though, as we watched a massively long drill being retracted and dismantled.
Mick tried a little jogette this afternoon, to see how his calf is doing. He came back in one piece.
News from the Stellplatz is that there are 11 vans here so far tonight (10 of which are parked sensibly). Mick noted today the inconsistency I had missed yesterday: there's a stated maximum of 4 vans allowed, yet 8 electric points have been provided.
