Day 80 Saturday 7th August:
“I bet there’s a market here this morning!” were the words that greeted me on waking! Sure enough, back into town and there it was! Sun shining this morning too! The market was one of the best we had come across. Helene bought some beautiful bread, which we had for lunch. The market was situated in the centre of the old town, surrounded by timber framed Franconian 16th century houses.
Then off along the beautiful Neckar valley. Drove on
through Binan, Neckargerach and Zwingenberg before having lunch. Very scenic and peaceful. Had lunch by the river, watched the river barges passing, and picked a bucket of blackberries.
After lunch we drove a little further to Hirschhorn for the afternoon and the evening. Hirschhorn is a quaint walled town with ramparts, castle and fantastic views over the town and the river. We spent the afternoon watching the traffic on the river, watching the big barges move through the lock, reading, and chatting to a couple of NZers who have been on the road in Europe for two and half years. Just idealic.
Walked the old town in the evening and then had dinner.
