We thought we would show our little tent, just to show that we have
gone back to camping again. Mind you, with the downpour that we had
yesterday evening, followed by the high winds, we wished we had
another hotel again!
We spent last night with team B, on a campsite belonging to the
Kuppenheim scouts. Team B were staying the night there, we just went
for dinner and the fire (and the company of team B).
Considering that the teams were split on the toss of a coin, it was
great to see how well both teams had worked out. We have been able to
see the bonding in both teams develop over the last 9 days. Everybody
in Team B had a place in the team, and it was great to see them
getting so well. Nigel was in his element trying to make fire,
assisted by Tom, and dispute the wet wood, succeeded with a great
fire. Claire was organising dinner, along with Fran, which was pork
belly slices, saukarrat and potatoes.
We had a great evening chatting, and it was very clear how much each
one of them had already got out of this expedition, and, it's not even
finished yet!
Team A checked in ok last night. They had managed to get an overnight
stay in a sports pavillion in Altheim. They were rather pleased at
this, as it was tipping it Dow with rain, with thunder and lightning!
We have spent today visiting the Rhine and watching the big barges go
through the locks at Iffezheim. Back to our tent for the last night,
before returning to the youth hostel in Mannheim for the end.
