It was a cold night last night...we kept the heater going full blast until we left the campsite. However, we didn't leave until we took advantage of the heated shower rooms and the very cool hair dryer. We filled Gracie with water, paid our exhorbitant bill and left Lauterbrunnen.
The sky was very clear and the bright sun soon warmed us as we drove up, down and through mountains. Some of the roads were very narrow and some were autobahn type
roads. There are no toll charges for individual autobahns in Switzerland; instead, everyone must pay $40 Swiss francs to drive on the highway. Other countries allowed tourists to buy two week and even two day passes.The scenery changed from snow capped mountains and crystal clear lakes to green pastures and then a more flat terrain. Today we drove through the longest tunnel yet...7.6 kilometers long. We drove through a part of Liechtenstein today as well as through part of Austria.
Lori easily guided us to our camper stop at Gunzburg, Germany, a quiet little village. The camper is parked next to a field where horses are grazing. Michelle fed them our last two apples. We played some cards, read, ate some chocolate and then retired for the night. I should add here that we have been playing Crazy Eights and Forty-Five's throughout this trip. Also, we have done a lot of reading. We have not missed tv, radio or telephones. In fact, it has been wonderful to be without them.
Tomorrow we drive the famed "romantic road" to Rothenburg ob der Tauber.
