We had a rude interruption at 3am when another van arrived and squeezed in between us and the next door van. There was lots of space elsewhere but they wanted to hook up to electricity. There were lots of pacing around on the gravel for an hour until they got settled. Glenn then got up…

We got going early for the exciting drive to Slovenia. The Belgian group of young teenagers were getting up late. They were very quiet last night – us oldies were the ones who stayed up until 10.30 talking. There was an old castle with city walls as we left the town of Gmund to get…

We got going early and we were on the bus into Salzburg with the school kids. It was a bit rainy but we enjoyed the coolness after a week of over 30 degrees. We arrived in the centre of Salzburg in 15 minutes and our first destination was the Mirabell Palace. From our self guided…

We left Schongau for the longish drive to Salzburg,Austria. We passed a commonwealth war cemetery so stopped to check it out and to find out the battles fought and nationalities buried there. It was actually WWII soldiers , mostly from the air force who had been shot down in Germany. There were mostly British but…

We started the day with a very calm swim in the swimming lake. It was only us – so it was quite lovely with no ripples. Site checkout was 11am so we had 2 hours to kill before our 1pm appointment at the repair shop. This was to get the fridge working on gas –…

We arrived at the Motorhome repairers in the morning and were told to come back at 2pm as the technician would have time then. So we found a wildlife refuge to check out on River Lech. It was hot again today so it was hard to see any wildlife but Glenn could work out the…

We got going early and first checked out the old town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber established by the Celts around 0 AD. There has been a lot of fighting over the years but also wealth through crafts and trade so there are lots of defensive structures. We loved the walkway along the top of…

In the morning we had a wander around the town of Thungersheim and found an art exhibition on in a very old building from the 1400s. The art was a bit interesting- very blobby. The building was more interesting. One room was dedicated to local artist George Anton Urlaub from the 1740s who did many…

The train running near our campsite is carrying all sorts of cargo. There are lots of new cars. We took the train into Wurzburg – a 15 minute journey along the river and through the vineyards. We arrived in Wurzburg to find the gay rights march was on so there were people everywhere. The buildings…

When we checked Gus’s fridge when getting ready to get back on the road we found it wasn’t very cold and the freezer had thawed out. We decided to go to a motorhome service garage to see if they could fit us in to have a look at it. We said goodbye Oli and Angela…
