Our first real town is Tauberbischofsheim, which as you can see is a hive of activity. But it’s late and we need to find a stellplatz, so we continue on.

We have the co-ordinates for a stellplatz in Bad Mergentheim. It’s just down the hill below the Solymar Therme.

We decided on the full experience rather than just a swim, hence the cost. So for the next two hours we swim our 40 laps, then try every pool spa and sauna we can. It was fabulous, perhaps even better than that. Obviously they don’t allow you to run around with a camera so…
