Honeymoon Day 7


Woke up to find this in the river next to the campsite, I assured Sarah I am a surfer of great repute, but alas no board to prove it.


Had a great day in a sun soaked Munich. We meet up with the lovely Vera & Sebastian, who we first meet in the Maldives when we had just got engaged and drank cocktails with them into the small hours.

They have just got engaged so congratulations and much luck with the wedding plans.

Went to lunch and shared a traditional Bavarian sample platter including duck, various sausages, suckling pig, dumplings etc etc. Even with the help of our friends we couldn’t finish it.

We had to walk it off so headed along the river. BBQ's & sunbathing, this doesn't happen on the Thames.


Feeling hot in the blazing sun we headed to an Italian ice cream parlor for vanillia ice cream covered in expresso. With renewed energy it was time for some drinks in the sun and we discovered Spritz. 

Not done yet we set off to a German Bier Garten.

Said goodbye to our friends (hopefully not for long) and returned to the tent for our last night in Munich, it will be spent sleeping off a perfect Munchen day.

Heading off to Innsbruck in the morning.

Honeymoon Day 6

You may notice day 5 missing, the reasons for this are two fold, 1; the internet prices at the holiday inn at .30Euro a minute are ridiculous and 2; we found a great cocktail bar after our sushi dinner called Ver-O-Peso where a Brasilian dude called Valdemar da Silva makes around 10 cocktails in one go and they where some of the best we've ever tasted, it was impossible to have only 1 and nearly impossible to walk home afterwards.


Anyway got up eventually and headed into the city centre to see the markets and sample some local faire. 
the markets where amazing, and full of people drinking before we'd even finished our morning coffee


we brought some delights to cook tonight as we returned to the camping lifestyle. Before heading off to camp we stopped at the famous 

these took some effort.

Off to watch the football now

Honeymoon day 4

Today was full of site seeing in Stuttgart 1hrs awesome drive from our campsite.
Went to Porsche museum first:
Rockstar parking if your on honeymoon

 It was decided today that this is Sarah's next car.......


This is for Ben....Dan Gurney's F1 car - the only time Porsche won a GP, we have a print of his win in our study. I put my name down as No1 driver if Porsche enter F1 again!
All the cars on Flicker including your favourites 


We stayed for lunch and then moved on to a more Wife friendly visit.
Stuttgart Zoo
we monkey'd around for a few hours.......
Going to act like the Gorilla now and hit the hay.


Tomorrow is off to Munich but it's raining so might chase the sun or find a bit of luxury.

Day 3 - still in black forest, Bad Wildbad

We made it all the way to the next campsite........7k away. Seemed a shame to be going so close until we hit the road. Was the best drive ever and Sarah stayed calm throughout, therefore we made it 20k as we went back and forth. Photos just a blur....
Anyway we arrived an did very little in the sunshine all day, followed by a first home (camp) made meal. 
Not quite the gastronomic experience we had at La Theatre in Champagne but we enjoyed it.....
Finishing the day off with a local Brauhausbier. One day I will take some photos with Sarah in them......if she lets me on the camera.

Off to the Porsche museum in the morning. I have a very understanding new wife.
