We are glad that we stayed in Zellingen as we are positioned well to arrive in Wurzburg for the weekend. We have been warned that since this is a holiday w/e, campgrounds and accomodation will be really busy. Plus it is so hot, we don't want to push too hard. Last evening the "street party" at the campground was a lot of fun. We ate amazing food and made some new friends. We particularly enjoyed getting to know the woman who checked us in (and her family). An early start got us in to Wurzburg in the morning and we were able to get a tenting spot at the Canoe (Kanu) Club on the river. Its location is superb, just across the river from Old Town, and also, we found out, a short ride by tram. We may do that tomorrow as it is supposed to be even hotter tomorrow (too hot to walk!). After we set up our tent, we went for a ride around Wurzburg on our bike unencumbered. It was a joy to feel the peppy energy of our bike without a load. The city was quite quiet as all businesses (except Eis Cafes) were closed due to the holiday. We like Wurzburg and we will stay here a few nights. We spent some time at the grounds and gardens of the Private Residences (Palace). A beautiful place.
We had a beautiful spot on the Main River at Zellingen. It was incredibly hot through the night and we sat and watched interesting working boats and cruise boats go by.
We really enjoyed visiting with this woman (sorry, can't remember your name!) and her son Lucas. She worked in the camp office and invited us to join them. Lucas was interested in our business card which shows our Crazy Guy web address. I think he liked our picture.
A good turnout for the "Street Party"...the chicken and bread were provided,and the campers provided salads. We felt very fortunate,as this celebration only happens once a year.
An oasis in the city on a very hot day. It is hard to see that people are resting in the tall grass, cooling down from the heat of the city. We were intrigued that the parks in Wurzburg were not manicured but left wild. We found it quite inviting - nature in the city.
When we returned to the Canoe Club Campground, we were surprised to see that the empty campground from this morning was now full with a group of kayakers. Note the River Cruise Boat in the background. Such an interesting place to camp.
