Camping Hopfensee ***** Fussen Bavaria

We have spent the last two nights at Camping Hopfensee in the very pretty town of Fussen in Southern Bavaria. The site is situated beside a large lake that is ideal for swimming (George was straight in) and has direct views of a stunning mountain range. The facilities really are 5* and as good as a premier hotel. There is an indoor heated pool (32 degrees) and many different Sauna and Massage experiences available - full spa facilities. There is also a typical Bavarian Restaurant serving Schnitzel, Sausages etc and even Pizza for the boys. There is even a huge indoor play facility and indoor football pitch! The weather has been amazing with full Sun and over 30 degree temperatures every day. The town of Fussen looks typical Bavaria but as we could only get two nights at the site we are going to back and see it properly on the way home. Today we have set off for Lermoos and stunningly pretty village in a high valley between Garmisch and Fussen.

Mountain Walking

We have been here a couple of days now and have enjoyed a very nice evening in Garmisch which is a lovely town and dined at great outdoor restaurant with even the boys eating well!
Yesterday we went up the Cable Car by our parking spot (Wank Bahn) and had a nice meal in the Moutain Restaurant (Wank-Haus)before going for a lovely walk along very nicely prepared paths winding around the top iof the mountains. Loads of pretty cows with bells and views in every direction if a bit hazy.
Today we are heading for the Wave Pool complex in the Van' and later we will drive to Fussen which is very popular locally and has many fine sites.

Alpencamp Am Wank - Garmisch-Partenkirchen

Yes we have arrived after a mega drive from the very top to the very bottom of Germany. And yes that is the name of the Campsite and the ski lift it is next to is the "Wank Ban". Very scenic and lots to do and photo so more later....(TV Sat system not working and fuel filler broken so not a great trip this time)

Bavaria Calling....

Today we are heading South for Bavaria and the mountains north of Austria. Garmisch Partenkirchen and other Alpine villages await. Fantastic facilities and 30 Degree sun for next 7 days at least. Legoland Germany as well. More when we get there.

Camping Mitte - Germany

Arrived in Northern Germany heading south via Hanover after driving accross Denmark and the three amazing bridges linking the Islands with Sweden and Jutland. We are camped at a nice site called Campining Mitte with WIFI, Indoor Pool and very hot family showers and a massage centre!

Ahus Strand (Nr. Kristianstad)

Two full days without wireless so this update is overdue! arrived in Ahus on Thursday evening. Its a nice beach village with busy sand beach and wooden pier much like a British resort in the 60's. There is also a huge heated outdoor pool, Butlins style, and a small Hotel. Weather has been great with sun every day and temperatures in the high 20's. The campsite is very nice with large grass pitches surrounded by Norwegian Pines and Spruce. Sue is jogging every night and Georges goes with her and keeps up well so fitness is improving further. I stick to bike rides as my knees are starting to creak! Alan (Smith) and Catrina, his Swedish fiance and mother of his 9 month old son Sean, arrived on Friday and we met up on Saturday afternoon on the beach followed by a great night out in the Harbour area of Ahus. Of course we ended up a little tipsy and were very lucky to get home as all cabs had disappeared and with James the walk would have been a nightmare. A Cab turned up out of nowhere in the end thanks to Cats mum Agneta. Woke with a bad head but set off to park in Agnetas garden for the night before setting off for Denmark (again) tomorrow.

Ahus Sweden - Regeboten Camping

Just arrived in Ahus near Kristianstad and have a nice pitch in a shady pine glade. We are in a Hotel reception near the beach as the site has no wireless. So far so good with warm Swimming pool, sand beach and clear water with sand bottom. More detail and pictures later...
