As I pumped air in Dave&#8217;s noise-blocking, slowly deflating assisted air suspension, Ju did the honours. When I&#8217;d finished and she&#8217;d not arrived, I shut the door and walked the 10 meters over to the quaint, perfect little office.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">A couple walked past me with a &#8220;Gru\u00df Gott&#8221;. Ju&#8217;s just started to explain we stayed last night and want to pay. As we leave it transpires the couple are off to Marienbad, and she was\u00a0practising\u00a0her German explaining the Czech vignette system, as you do.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">In my short experience of two days, I&#8217;m finding Germany to be a dream to drive in. The autobahns we have used are quite empty of traffic, and have excellent surfaces. The slip roads on and off motorways are wide, very well signed and don&#8217;t have the\u00a0nasty\u00a0habit of tightening up requiring brake stabbing followed by a Dave jangling. Best of all, they&#8217;re free.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4723\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/DSC_9148.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4723\" class=\"wp-image-4723 size-large\" title=\"DSC_9148\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/DSC_9148-1024x681.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"620\" height=\"412\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/DSC_9148-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/DSC_9148-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-4723\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">German autobahns: wonderful.

After that we&#8217;ve a date sorted with a great University buddy of mine and his wonderful family of five in Paderborn. Happy days.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">So, south it was, and slowly. Our maps of low-cost sleeping spots in Croatia, Bosnia, Hungary and Czech Republic were all\u00a0sparsely\u00a0dotted affairs. Austria was a &#8216;sleep anywhere&#8217; affair, wonderful. Germany is better, \u20ac5 or nothing around here gets you a town-centre-ish parking place, surrounded by the most friendly of neighbours, water and emptying points, maybe even unlimited electricity. The maps shows stellplatz everywhere, thousands of them. You could travel Germany for over ten years and not go back to the same place.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">After a whole 30-odd minutes through countryside, castled villages visible off the road, we pulled in among a line of German and one Dutch motorhomes. Within minutes our elderly neighbour is chatting with us, in a one-sided, not really sure what you&#8217;re saying kind of way. His Hymer is a year older than Dave we glean, and he likes Charlie. Other motorhome dwellers are sat around outside their vans, drinking wine, chatting, joking with us when we apologise, in German, for not speaking German. We&#8217;re picking up a few words though, the tongue feels possible here compared with the difficult Czech and the you-have-to-be-joking Hungarian.\u00a0We&#8217;ve not done much since, a five minute walk over a stout, lipstick-red\u00a0rhodedendron-lined wooden bridge carried us into town to look around for an <a title=\"Accessing Mobile Internet in Germany \u2013 Prepaid SIM and 3G Dongle\" href=\"http:\/\/ourtour.co.uk\/home\/accessing-mobile-internet-in-germany-prepaid-sim-and-3g-dongle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Internet SIM<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4724\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/DSC_9154.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4724\" class=\"wp-image-4724 size-large\" title=\"DSC_9154\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/DSC_9154-1024x681.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"620\" height=\"412\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/DSC_9154-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/DSC_9154-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-4724\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Schwandorf, small, friendly, and simply beautiful<\/p><\/div>\n<p>More walking and chatting with neighbours follows, the sun gradually dips and we chill into the evening.
