Didn't stir until 08:45 this morning, which meant it was quite late when we set off. Our first port of call was the town of Arnsberg, where we had originally been going to spend tomorrow night, but as it was, we only stopped for a quick shop.
Then we drive to the Sorpe dam
- the third and last of the Dam-busters little efforts, and one that did not work as it was an earthen dam, so all they succeeded in doing was to take a bite out of it.
Then we had a lovely drive, first along the lake
and then cross-country, to the town of Balve, where first we stopped by a swimming-pool to have lunch and a nap, and then we drove up here, which is just out of town but in a hotel car park where you don't have to pay if you eat in the restaurant. So we did - this time of year it's all mushrooms, so I had those with dumplings, and the SW had pork schnitzel. One item on the menu I had to use Google translate for, as it was Kaninchen, which turned out to be rabbit (I could only think puppies!), but they didn't have any.
The SW had been out for a walk between our arrival and dinner, but I don't think it was very nice as it was raining and he got a bit lost.
I am totally confused about where we are supposed to be, as the SW keeps changing his mind, so the "laminated sheet" we usually use to tell us where we are going next is worse than useless!
