Niederwinkling to the Black Forest

We actually had salmon and pavlova on Monday night as Christine’s son, daughter-in-law and two grandchildren joined us for a buffet of cold meats, cheeses and salads with fresh fruit. 😋 on Tuesday night. We enjoyed meeting this family and Ken loved the small girl! 
Wednesday lunch was a picnic on the Levee banks of the Danube, watching a new ferry practise docking and the large barges travelling linga along the river.  The houses near the levee banks do not have bedrooms on the ground floor as the ground floor gets flooded sometimes.

Dinner on Wednesday night was a special event, at a Michelon one hat restaurent nearly, chef is another member of the Buchner family who own the hotel where we were staying . Everything was so beautifully presented and food was  wonderful. We all enjoyed this special dinner as our last time together. The next day Michael and Ulrike were going home to Beucha, near Leipzig, and we were going to join Christine’s twin brother, Christoph, and his wife , another Christine, in the Black Forest.
It was over 4 hour drive on Thursday with lots of trucks and many types of road works, horrible for Ken driving. 😖   Fortunately weather was fine,(rain didn’t start until Thursday night. )We arrived mid afternoon to a warm welcome with cake and coffee to revive us😋.
