News from the ark!

We have hit a spot of extreme rain and beginning to feel like the Noah's. We are travelling north up the 'romantic road' from about Augsburg to Wurzburg visiting the 'impossibly beautiful' towns and villages in route.  They really are very lovely with mediaeval fairytale centres - all half timbered houses, tiny streets and yards, town walls and towers. Now at Rothenburg on der Tauber, perhaps the best preserved, but also the most touristy.
Much excitement about 11 last night after several hours of torrential rain as the site owners began to move caravans to higher ground and rescue people from tents! We are OK as on a hard standing, but got ready to evacuate as a siren went off in the village - nothing happened so don't know what that was.
Still raining today but we will continue with the plan - as our Dutch camping neighbours said the other day 'it is too late to think now of Spain!'
