Last day...

No breakfast on the balcony today, instead, packed and bags left while we went down the hill to the town for breakfast....

...followed by a walk...

 ...along the Lichtentaler Allee...

...to the Cistercien Monastery at Lichtenthal...

...and the Lutherkirche...

...and back again, spotting this wee chum...

...and having a seat in the Rose Garden along the way...

Behind the church which has been pictured so many times over the past week, the Nazis burned books on 17 June 1933...

...here...

As Heinrich Heine advised "where you burn books, you will eventually burn people"...

Up the stairs to the apartment for the last time, spotting only our second cat of the trip...

Out, now with case in tow, hoping to visit the Roman baths before we departed but they were shut...

Instead, coffees...

...and taking in the views...

Then, a further seat in the roasting heat, while waiting for the bus to the railway station...

Past the scene of the excellent ballet...

...for a further bus to the airport...

...and much sitting about...

Finally boarding...

Auf wiedersehen, Baden Baden...

Over the North Sea...

...to Scotchland once more...

Out over the Forth...

Cramond Island...

Hopetoun House...

..and down...

Security, baggage pick up, airport bus, walk up the hill and home to rip CDs, treat pics, catch up on TV missed and, eventually, write this up...

An excellent trip, all told...

Today's artwork, "Mmmm, Lovely Coffee"...

Highlight of the Day : Actually, probably the coffee at the Baden Baden coffee house...
