Trained across to the Schwarzwald again yesterday and back into sunshine. Had a lovely family barbecue with all of the Mayer family there, Claudia, Ralf and their children and their partners. ( see photo). Today we all went to Forbach and the children and Claudia went 'soft rafting' on the Murg River. It was very gentle and only about 200 meters over little rapids, where they had to keep bringing back the rafts to repeat the exercise. Pretty tame compared to rafting the Rangitata, but pleasant sitting in the sun with Ralf, Dominik(4) and Simon(1), while their parents rafted.At night we went to a fantastic concert in Karlsruhe's lovely theatre. It was called 'The times they are a'changing ' and was the Bob Dylan story, so well- known music from my growing up years!
