Sunday Drive

Finally a sunny day so we decided to make the most of it and go for a Sunday drive.  A couple of months ago we had passed a town which had a Kloster and thought that it looked an interesting place to have lunch.  I had a twisted ankle and Malcolm a cold so a quiet meandering drive was called for.

We looked at our map to plan our route and saw that on the way in a town called Hohenkammer there was a Wasser Schloss (moated castle) and decided to stop and check it out.  It was a lovely "small" castle surrounded by water filled with very large fish.  The place has been beautifully renovated and is used as a convention centre, hotel and wellness centre.  We wandered around and had a look before almost accidentally stealing a BMW Z8 Alpina which had rather nice red leather upholstery.

We then drove to Scheyern to visit the Cloisters.  We presumed as Oktoberfest was still on that this place would not be busy - we were wrong. The town had an art and antique fair on and parking was at a premium. We had lunch there but didn't get much of a chance to get to walk around so we will go back.  We found out later that the relic here is supposed to be a piece of the Holy Cross.

After this we meandered through the countryside and small towns and stopped to try and view another small Wasser Schloss but it was privately owned and hidden from view.  We almost accidently stole a rather nice black and white puppy who insisted that he wanted to come home with us. We then drove through a few more towns before coming across a gelateria.
