I awoke just after 7am. Wow, over 12 hours sleep. Feeling quite a bit better, I decided on breakfast. One piece of toast, one small yoghurt and a coffee. That got things rumbling. I ventured out to have a look around Daun so I would at least have some memory of the place. Lovely little town. <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
I then hunted down my first successful overseas geocache. Feeling very proud of myself I purchased some new sunglasses from a shop in town. They desperately tried to fix my old ones, did an okay job considering I didn\u2019t ask them to and they didn\u2019t charge me.<\/o:p><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
I quickly packed up and departed, only stopping for fuel (first fill since picking up the car, it only took 53.81l of diesel, at $80 euros which is about $112, still that\u2019s cheaper than petrol and less of it used) and headed south for Sinsheim. I set the GPS to avoid all autobahns, so I would hopefully get to see a bit more of the country side. This mostly worked, except for going through some major cities when I\u2019m sure there was an autobahn only kilometres away that could have got me past in minutes. <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
I stopped in Worms since I was driving through the middle of town and grabbed a Vodafone top up. I also had a very quick wander around Worms cathedral that was next to where I parked. <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Then back into traffic to keep heading towards Sinsheim. I stopped at a keep\/castle that caught my eye on the way past.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
I arrived at the hotel just after 4pm, unpacked and sat down for a bit of a rest and to catch up on the interwebs that had been missing for the past 4 days.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
A quick check showed no geocaches within walking distance so I headed down for a light dinner of fish and a few chips. Boy did that get the stomach rumbling. Now I think it\u2019s time for bed. Big day tomorrow at the Sinsheim Auto & Technik museum.<\/o:p><\/span>
