9 - 11 November. New Braunfels Texas.

We booked the RV in for an oil change and spent some time visiting a small town called Gruene.  A strange little town that used to be a bit of a 'ghost town' and they have revitalised into a visitors area with original shops. 

At our camp site we were invited to spend the evening with a Group of other RV’ers who were at the staying for the weekend.  We learnt how to play “Train” (an interpretation of dominoes).  We also joined them for breakfast the next morning.

 New Braunfels was settled by immigrants from Germany in the 19th Century.  We arrived in time for their “Wurstfest” which was a bit like an “Oktoberfest” but in November.  We spent most of Saturday there – German beer and German sausages and several ‘Oompah’ bands – great fun! Paul doesn’t remember too much about the journey home.

 Sunday we made use of the camp facilities of the swimming pool and hot tub.  We then joined the San Antonio Hash for an afternoon trail.  The weather was a little cooler – top 70s instead of mid-80s.
