Lenny's off again Germany, then wherever

[Grianan]

It is safe if it’s done properly - our son who’s a chef explained it - something to do with how the beef is prepped and minced - but

This is interesting - it never occurred to me that steak haché wouldn’t be safe. I vividly remember going out for a family meal in Brittany. As soon as we left my daughter threw up violently, in front of the restaurant. She had just eaten steak haché.

Yes - Rare burgers are not completely outlawed in the UK, but they're frowned upon by the food safety authorities. As a food business you've got to jump through some serious hoops to demonstrate to them that you know what you are doing.

Informative Q&A about rare burgers here, including why rare steak is fine, but rare burgers are problematic -

Rare Burgers Q&A - NCASS

The ongoing debate surrounding the controversial topic of when, how and why some people can serve rare (or 'pink') burgers is one that can leave you confused. Extremely confused. That's why we've prepared this Q&A sheet, to help you better understand what's going on.

Getting worried now as Lenny has not surfaced, hope my burger recommendation has not killed him or maybe he is to busy emptying the cassette again good thing is not to far to walk on that Stelplatz so time to empty run back to fill again

 

[Lenny HB]

Why lot you lot go and start you own cooking thread getting fed with it on here.

 

[Lenny HB]

Be interesting to see how much prices have gone up, I had the burger and Mrs CC had a salad thing, 2 deserts and 2 drinks came to.

Another good thing about Revolut you can find places you have been before

Looks like it's about 7% more now.
Ours was €44.30, if we had the same as you it would have been €67.

Not to bad then, probably Germany is the best value place to eat out now, mate went back to Croatia this year and same restaurant gone up about 15%

Spain & Portugal still cheap gone up a bit since Covid but still good value.

Food in Aldi & Lidl dearer than the UK now, always used to be cheaper here in Germany.

Now at Augsburg bit of a drop in front so used the wheel chocks.

 

[bellabee]

I was an English Assistant in a school in Augsburg. It's where Graham and I got engaged. We climbed to the top of the tower in the main square.

Isn't that romantic?

Dachau just north of Munich is interesting Lenny, might be worth a visit.
Very similar to Auschwitz but not as well known.

Tower closed for renovation bought tickets in the Rathaus for the golden room & tower but the tower was closed.

 

[Wanders from Glos]

We are at an ACSI camp site in Augsburg as we had a mountain of washing. Moving on tomorrow, not sure where but north a bit. Might give Dinkelsbuhl a go.

One night was enough then, avoiding me now.

Must admit we are going to have to find somewhere to do some washing soon as we didn't bring the washing machine on this trip.

 

[Lenny HB]

For anyone doing the romantic road I'd say don't bother with Augsburg, biggish city not much to see.

The golden room in the Rathause was quite impressive & found one city gate and a tiny bit of wall.

Not at all, I’ve still got technical questions I haven’t asked

I agree about Augsburg not worth a special stop. The laundry is frustrating, they don’t seem to have laundrettes very much or the washing machines at supermarkets like France.

Then we went to the Fuggerel the oldest social housing in the world build in 1521.
Part of it is now a museum but over 75% of it is still occupied with residents paying a rent of €0.88 a year plus service charge.

Before street lighting was installed residents could find their way home buy the bell pulls each house/apartment had a bell pull of a different design.

Mozarts family have lived in an apartment here since1681.

They have street lighting now but it is still gas
powered.

That was a heavy afternoon on the feet a couple of miles into town after wandering around the town walked another 2miles to the historic water towers, by the time we got there museum was closed and nowhere to get a decent photo. Then over 2 miles back to the van, dinner was a frozen paella not a patch on the French or Spanish ones.

Fussen?

Wohnmobilplatz Fussen

[Littlewheels]

I think it would work, rather like the “Mosel rolling meet” at Reil.

Exactly.

 

[Koppersbeat]

Exactly.

I was on the Reil Stellplatz last week.It was absolutely packed with Germans and French.Only one other English van.The Imbiss had changed hands this season and the food was rubbish.New shower block was good. A rolling meet in France not far from the ports would be good so people could join either on their way to their destination or on their return.

We used the middle of the three stellplatz in Füssen 4 or 5 weeks ago. This too had a washer and a dryer. Also the most modern and spotless toilet and washroom you will see anywhere. Real credit to the operators. Reception also give out the Füssen Guest Card for free buses into town and onto Neuschwanstein Castle.

 

[WESTY66]

WESTY66 has let me down again I though I would find him here but he's done a runner.

Ah been awol for a few days and you rock up to my favourite place
Hope you enjoyed RodT. It does get full of tourists in the summer, but still worth a visit

 

[WESTY66]

Morning started well as water was out of order we went up to P3 to fill up. Water pressure was a bit high I had a free power shower and had to change every item of clothing.

Now on the Stellaplatz at Dinkelisbuhl.

Definitely a washing machine and drier at the stellplatz in Fussen. Just checked. Mr Wallet may struggle though... €22

On the plus side its very hot here.

Keep up son, spent 3 nights at P2 only went to P3 to get water when leaving.

 

[Lenny HB]

Now at Ulm.

Ahem….. I was referring to your park up at Dinks, you shudda gone to P2, much better and nearer to the centre!!

Ref P2 at RodT the water tap was about to give up the ghost when we was there, didn’t even have the pressure to pump it up the pipe hardly, manage 7L then thought sod it and drove off but I wasn’t desperate.

I’ve done these places a few times and still haven’t come across half the stuff in your pics, how the bloody hell do you find them??
I don’t think I’m cut out for this motorhoming lark, I seem to miss everything

 

[Lenny HB]

Where we were was nice and only a couple of hundred yards to centre or town.

 

[Wanders from Glos]

We wondered about Ulm
