This morning Dave went to the Audi factory, 4 rings stand for the four companies united, now owned by VW. Travelled on the autobahn. We were doing 100kms in the bus and being past as if we were crawling along. There is no speed limit on the autobahn. Tha Canvastown kids will be interested in how they hunt boars here. They sit on the top of big stands and wait for the pigs to come out of the bush and drink beer.
I spent the morning in Regensburg, a lovely little medieval city that still has it's city wall, although now many houses are built into it. The stone bridge was built in 10yrs and was considered and engineering masterpiece. During the war the city declared itself an "Open city" which meant they welcomed in the Allies and avoided getting bombed.
When the boys ( and Janine and Fran) got back we walked into town to see the beautiful Cathederal and went to a Hungarian market where we enjoyed a nice cold wheat beer in the sun. All the shops were closed as in Germany it is law that shops close on Sundays.
After dinner there was a sixties night with wigs, glasses, blown up guitars etc. The staff dressed up and got everyone grooving, including Fran, the hoola hoop queen and Janine the dancing queen. The rum punch went down well too.
