A rather wet day :(

After a lovely day in the warm Black Forest sunshine yesterday, it rained quite heavily overnight and we awoke to a thunderstorm rattling the rooflights. Looking at the weather apps it seems the sunshine has deserted us for the time being. What`s more the rain seems to be quite widespread across this part of Europe for the next few days, so making a dash for Italy seems pointless.

We continued with the original plan for today which was to drive up to Lake Titisee and then on to the close by Lake Schluchsee.

Both were picturesque settings that on a better day would have been good overnight stops, but shrouded in mist and rain, they were a different proposition. So we didn`t stay long. A bite of lunch saw us moving on.

We decided to head south closer to our next planned stop at Rhine Falls near Schaffhausen, close to the border with Switzerland.

So tonight finds us at the Stellplatz Wohnmobil-Park in Waldshut-Tiengen GPS 47.61109 8.22522. It seems like it must be a chain as we are familiar with the name now.

We are parked up just 50 yards from the German bank of the River Rhine and on the other side is Switzerland.

The weather for tomorrow seems like being a mix of sunshine and showers so we`ll go and see the Rhine Falls which are about 45 minutes away.

For the next few days it looks rather wet and I`m going to be so very disappointed if we can`t cross Switzerland in sunshine. I`d planned to take the longer senic route over the top and linger a bit in Switzerland to take in the Alpine scenery, but that`s looking doubtful now.

There`s just no point in doing that route if we`re not going to see anything due to mist and rain, so we might just head for the motorway and the St Gotthard Road Tunnel.

But we`ll decided for sure at the last minute, fingers crossed we`ll get a break in the weather and take the senic route.

No photos today, too dam wet !
