366 Photos - 308 - Thursday - Holiday Day 10 - the Schwarzwald

It's not Sunday at all - it's still Thursday, and I'm just a wee bit behind in my 366 photos. Possibly because I keep posting 366 of them each day at the moment, which really isn't the idea... *g* But today we went to the Black Forest, so there will have to be one or two... *g*

Today's road looked like this before we'd even gone ten miles, so it was an excellent start!

Trouble was - it turned out that every road Mr Maus had carefully planned to travel on was closed for roadworks of some kind, and what started out as a four-hour scenic drive turned into a six hour drive, but... well, it was entirely lovely and still scenic! It started looking like this...

366 Photos - 309 - Friday - Holiday Day 11 - Esslingen!

Apparently every second day I can manage two posts... *g* We had a relaxed start to Friday, after the epic Black Forest drive, but by Friday afternoon we were off again. If you take out one of the ss from the name, and you happen to have read the Astreiant books, you might know why I just had to visit Esslingen... *g*

Today's road went through buildings, and past distant vistas...

And look who we found - another balancer!

366 Photos - 310 - Saturday - Holiday Day 12 - We're going to the zoo, zoo, zoo...

...you can come too, too, too... *g* (Look at me - I'm a bus!)

Today's road (which is yesterday's road, cos I'm so nearly caught up!) was slightly wetter than for the last 11 days. But it brightened up, and only sprinkled briefly at the zoo, and saved the proper downpour for the drive home - perfect!

Which took us to Tierpark Hellabrun - Hellabrun Zoo, in Munich! And we saw giraffes... ...and wolves...
