Ok, so this village is called Gabelbach. I think.
I got up at around 9. I feel pretty lazy living with these Germans. Everyone seems to be up by 5 and in bed by 10pm. It's my third day here and I still haven't met the man of the house. I felt like some time alone and had a few things to do so borrowed the bicycle and cycled to a bigger village after breakfast. Visited a pharmacy about my eye which seems to be suffering from an allergy or something. The young pharmacist was very friendly and he spoke good English, but didn't have any suitable medicine. I then did some shopping and went to a cafe for some lunch and to write a letter.
In the evening I finally met Bernt, the father/husband. I knew he was a doctor and guessed he was a big wig since he's just returned from the White House, Pentagon and other important places. He was very nice, humble and great to talk to.
We had a great dinner and great conversation in the evening sitting in the garden with lots of delicious foods. There was even desert. And I had bought the a bottle of Baileys so taught Katrin how to make Baileys coffee, which we all enjoyed. We sat up for hours as the stars got brighter above the corn field in their back garden. It was fascinating conversation and I felt very lucky to have this chance to spend time with a Bavarian family.
