Late Spring Holiday, 23 May 2026

Rainau, Baden Wurttemburg

It was so, so, so hard to say goodbye to Oberstdorf this morning! Our ticket didn't expire until 14:00, so we were in no rush. We worked out that we could do a Laast Shop in Germany on Tuesday morning (Monday is Whit Monday and the shops, except for a few bakeries, will be closed), so I just nipped to Norma to get one or two things, and then to Ehren's for lunch rolls and a raspberry strudel to share between us. 

We got the WoMo into travelling condition, used the services and filled up with drinking water, and set off at about 10:30. We decided not to risk the free aire we had thought of for tonight because it is a long weekend, and even the huge aire in Oberstdorf was well-nigh full. So we decided on this rather nice aire in a place called Rainau, just by a reservoir with swimming areas, boating areas, etc. There was plenty of room when we arrived, but it has filled up since. 

After a rather late lunch, we had a rest and then went out to walk round the reservoir, which was extremely pleasant, only I have blisters on my feet. How come I could walk round Oberstdorf and Brixton in my sandals with no ill-effects (it is seriously sandals, shorts and sunhat weather}, but not here? 

I had half planned to go for a swim while the SW got supper, but I really can't walk another step! Maybe in the morning before we head on?
