Home sweet home...
We arrived home a few days ago after deciding that a business opportunity I had was more important than the extra three weeks touring Europe! Its a shame but we are actually enjoying trying summer at home and finding lots to keep us occupied :-)

Locarno trip via Maggiore Ferry
Today we took the camping bus to the ferry pier and boarded the free shuttle boat to Locarno pier. We spent a couple of hours wandering around the very trendy streets and found a great pizza restaurant alongside the square that was hosting the Locarno Film Festival. Later we took the funicular railway to viewing platform high above Lake Maggiore.

Locarno pool complex Lake Maggiore Switzerland
Ok time moves on and so do we. The boys where way to hot in the 35c heat of the Viareggio coast and the sea was filthy and unsuitable for safe swimming! We hit the road last night and arrived at our favourite aire in Locarno Marina on lake Maggiore just inside Switzerland at about 10pm. Its raining but warm 27c and sun is forecast for a week. Later we will move to one of the best camp sites in Europe "Campo Felice" on the shores of the lake with stunning mountain views. More pictures above.

Heiterwang See in Tyrol
We are staying at Hotel Fischer Am See in Heiterwang/Tyrol www.fischeramsee.at having moved from the Tiroler Zugspitze Hotel & resort www.zugspitze-resort.at.
The scenery here by the lake is absolutely stunning and it is so peaceful you really feel away from it all. We have just returned from a two hour pleasure cruise the entire length of both lakes taking in a stunning mountain Valley and water as blue as a coral reef in places.
More pictures soon:

Ehrwald - Mountain Walk & Bibierwier Tobogann
Today we took the Ehrwald Almbahn lift up the valley between Ehrwald and Bibierwier to the main ski area on the Zugspitz Mountain. Its modern Gondala that swiftly takes you up to 1500 feet where you can hit a trail that leads further up the montain towards the Seebersee that is 1.5 hours walk away. We made it about a third of the way but James got tired so we headed back but walked the whole way back down the mountain to the base station at Ehrwald. The sun as shining all day long. We then took the bus back to Bibierwier for more Toboganning fun!

Biberwier Mountain Walk
Yesterday we spent the day at Biberwier where we rode the mile long Tobogann and then went back to the very top of the Mountain Ski Lift and then walked the Mountain trail all the way back down stopping t a mountain Hut for Bratwurst and Chips with a Lemon Beer. We have a special card that allows us to use the excellent bus service between the towns and ski stations so getting about is a breeze.
Later we went on to Lermoos and went up the cable car just for the trip.
