Day 3
After an early breakfast we hopped on our bus and headed to Baden Baden to enjoy some healing waters. We had our first experience on the Autobahn and participated in our first 'sinister socialist chocolate scheme'. At our first comfort stop we were able to combine our bathroom receipts with those of our fellow tour mates in order to purchase chocolate to share around the bus, a plan brilliantly devised by our tour guide Nica.
Once we arrived in Baden Baden we headed straight for the Baden Baden Casino for our group tour, viewing the extravagant interiors and learning the long history of the casino; afterwards we checked into our hotel for an evening of rest and relaxation.
While Stephen made his way to Fredrichsbad to experience the bath of all baths, I began wandering through the streets of Baden Baden taking in the culture, beauty and some gelato!
Our day ended with dinner at a local biergarten and an evening stroll through the rainy streets of Baden Baden. We followed our stroll up with a soak in our hotel bath, filled with the healing waters of Baden Baden straight from the tap.
