Cos I'm on my way!

I'm on my way back to switzerland after a short visit to germany again. I do love the germans! Everything they do entertains me endlessly! I've had a pretty uneventful day of driving today.

This morning I stopped off to see the castle that inspired disney's castle but was immediately put off by the hundreds of tourists and immense amount of of tour buses! Then the thought of paying to walk around another castle sold me on betting a post card and moving on! Next on my list for the day was lindau. near the corder of switzerland it seemed a good option so here I am, not sure where I'm going to sleep tonight but not going to worry, a solution will be found. I am parked on a pretty quiet street so I might get away with sleeping there. I might have to after this beer! oh right so now I'm sitting near the harbour doing my favorite thing, watching germans walk past. Sometimes life is good :)

Back to germany

Today I had a fairly eventful trip to germany, mostly because for the first time I changed a car battery, and what an easy process that is! Well it all started out when I tried to start jerry this morning and no success. Figured that after having run the same battery flat 5 times its understandable that the battery may need replacing! Thankfully I have friends who have friends and I was able to get a new battery at a very good rate, friends and family benefits!

So we took said battery home with me, vehemently promising the man who sold me the battery that I knew exactly how to install it, while at the same time googling the dummies guide to auto repairs! Yes, they have a section on how to install a new battery. Mostly it consists of many complicated sentences to tell you black cable then red cable, remove battery, replace with new battery, red cable then black cable. Bam! Done! One more thing to check off in my quest to be awesome! Car batteries today, who knows what tomorrow holds, maybe I'll ve able to fix my stereo!
