A Walk in the Black Forest
Steaming up the autobahn, turn off at Baden-Baden for an overnight stop prior to workshop at FZK. Delightful hotel & restaurant - something like German food with French presentation - and a hearty breakfast make an excellent start to the trip. Wine was a little strange. What is that smell? Ah yes, yeast(!) Vaut le voyage? Quite possibly - certainly the detour. The hotel had a huge great dog (like Hagrid's Fang) that never seemed to move (at least I never saw it) but always managed to be whereever you were, looking suspiciously for any activity that would stir it into action.
It actually reminded my of the time on Providenciales when we were cornered by a Rottweiler whilst out on exploring on a scooter. It all went quite and I thought he'd gone, but he was just hiding in the bushes waiting for me to make a dash for it. And whatever you can say about Scooter Bob's scooters, speed was not their strong point....
