We settle down on the fine stellplatz at Fritzlar for what we think will be a few days whilst we await our parts from the UK
A really nice town this, recommended by Mick & Deb, complete with timbered houses and of course a Brauerie
This turned out to be a regular thing at around 11am
Brauhaus 1880 on the outskirts of town turned out to be a bit of a let down tbh
Bit overpriced for average food but the beer was stunning albeit expensive
Several walks in the surrounding countryside over the length of our stay saw us returning here at close of play for the 'SaisonBier' which was in a class of its own
A nice long ride out on Max one day brings us to another famous expanse of water, Edersee
And another dam that had a bit of rebuilding work done to it in the Forties
Look at the water level..
Way below where it should be at this time of year
The original construction work
Hardened anglers
Hardened walker...
This looked fun but I was escorted around its periphery
With no sign of a package arriving anyday soon we head off on Max to nearby Kassel for a wander around its beautiful park
A wander up in to the city and soon we discover a Flammenkuchen stall
This guy, for reasons best known to himself, thought it was my Birthday and treated us both to a glass of bubbly
After waiting around 9 days for a package that was sent in good faith a couple of weeks earlier we lose heart at Fritzlar having visited the Tourist Office each day with no joy
A decision was made to do a 100km jaunt due north to Salzhemmendorf and go visit the Ith Sole Therme for a day relaxing in 35 deg mineral water then drift back to Fritzlar to give the package a final chance to arrive...
Yes you guessed it, the damned thing arrived at the office the day after we'd left for the Spa
At least it arrived OK!
