August 8th
I wish someone had told me that the weather in Germany was much like that of Britain, but wetter! Today started ominously with the patter of rain on the roof but soon lapsed into a pattern of light drizzle, shower, sunshine, drizzle...
Today we were heading east to the town of Landsberg am Letch, just west of Munich (or Munchen). We had read a bit about the town and decided we should allow two days for exploring as there is a bit to see here. After a bit of traveling on the Autobahn, we hit Landsberg and drove through it's cobbled town centre and parked in a Stellplatz (by luck rather than judgment). Today was the last day of a crafts market and we had a good look around. It was predominantly pottery but had garden ornaments, necklaces, bracelets, dangley things and lots more curiosities.
The river ran beside the market and further up toward the town centre the river was broken by a weir. Because of all the rain in this area too, it was a torrent and even when we were back at the van a little way away it was the only sound you could hear. It was pretty cool. We had a brief look around the town before heading back tot he van for supper and to settle down for the night.
