Railway Away Day

One of the benefits of a vacation in the Black Forest area is free public transport which includes the railways. So today we walked the mile or so into Titisee along the east shore of the lake, dodging mountain  bikes and other walkers, in both directions. It's a popular walk! Titisee was very crowded with week-enders and people coming to the recently opened Badenparadise which sounds like a huge centre parks water park all under one roof.

After a modest Sunday lunch, featuring 'fresh local mushrooms', we then caught the train to Frieburg and enjoyed a very scenic return trip in a double decker carriage. We stayed on the train passing thru Titisee to another activity lake at Shluchsee, where we stopped for a coffee and gateau of the black forest variety, before returning and catching a bus back to the campsite. It was a very pleasant afternoon for both of us to see the scenery which is often missed when we are driving and it cost absolutely nothing. What a good idea!!!

Packing up tonite so that we can get away reasonable early tomorrow and see some more of the northern part of the forest and the cuckoo clock factories, whilst getting some miles in towards Calais.
