Baden Baden - apparently the b500 road, also known as the gateway to the Blackforest, has some stunning scenery - unfortunately when we took the B500 all we got was boring motorway heading towards France, so we tuck a left turn and headed for Austria. We later found out that although we got the right road we got on it in completely the wrong direction - never mind who wants to see the world's biggest cuckoo clock anyway!
Then a long drive across Germany to Austria - and on the way a realisation that we weren't going to make the 7pm deadline for today's tasks, which was something to become a regular occurrence for us! Driving into Austria - very impressive to see the mountains as the back drop. Got to the hotel in Feldkirch thinking we would be one of the last to arrive, but for our hotel turns out we were the first! In fact the next team didn't make it till nearly midnight - first signs of car trouble for many teams. Nice hotel and with a meal laid on..... though it must be said while it was tasty, cabbage soup is not a good idea for three blokes sharing a car all day!
