This was our first rest day of the trip. We were exhausted from our climb over the mountains, so we spent the day relaxing in Titisee. Titisee is a cute little town on a pretty lake in the middle of the Black Forest. Titisee was packed with tourists. They had a big parking lot for the big bus tours, so there was a steady stream of tourists coming into town. However, at 5pm, all the busloads of tourists retreated to their fancy hotels in the big city, and the town became a ghost town. They had paddleboats, rowboats, and electric boats you could rent to go out on the lake. We were still worn out from yesterday’s ride, so we opted for an electric boat. 🙂 We had a nice relaxing boat ride around the lake.

At this point, we had a bunch of stuff (mostly maps) we were carrying on our bikes that we no longer needed. We decided to mail it all home, so that we didn’t have to carry it around for the rest of the trip. We mailed almost 2kg of stuff back to the US, and our bags were much lighter afterwards!
