I had signed up for this tour with go2know. The weather was fantastic. The fact that I am not yet in photography mode for real manifested itself in the fact that like the fuzzy-brained retard that I am, I had left the extra camera batteries at home in the charger where I had meticulously placed them the night before. Of course the battery in the camera soon went flat.

I did take a handful of photos, and then a couple with my phone, but I did not stay long, and certainly not the full six hours allotted to us.

I wanted to also check out the Indian Military Cemetery nearby but it proved too complicated to get there on foot. It did not seem safe to walk several km along the edge of a surprisingly busy road, and no footpath. This is not Germany for nothing. The mighty private car is still worshipped above all else. I might see if there are other ways to get there and make a separate excursion there some other time.

There are not many pitstops in the area. I ended up having a light lunch in Café Lötz. I recommend it only because there is nowhere else to eat :-), although their cakes did look quite good, and the service is very friendly.
