We rose early and drove to the Eurotunnel terminal, allowing a little extra time to sort out our lack of passports. Showing our driving licences, we got through French immigration straight away (they were obviously glad to get rid of us 😉 ) but at British immigration we were taken aside and advised it would...

John took the bikes off the back of the van and we rode up to the beach for breakfasts… Croissants are so much better in France than anywhere else. Afterwards, we rode into the the centre of Gravelines to visit tourist information. The town is fortified with ramparts and moats and we wanted to know... Continue Reading →
Although the thunder and lightning stopped, the torrential rain which started late afternoon yesterday continued all evening. We collected a takeaway from the campsite restaurant and ate it in the van, rather than sit outside. This morning it was still raining. John had washed and dressed but decided to change into a pair of swim... Continue Reading →
I had booked tickets for an early tour of Neuschwanstein in an attempt to beat the rush. We had to pick them up at the ticket office at 8.20 so we rose early to cycle the 30 minute journey there. We arrived with time to spare and locked the bikes. Luckily we didn’t have to... Continue Reading →
After a lovely 10 hour sleep, John made me tea and toast in bed and let me wake up gradually. He wanted to make an early start as we planned to visit Linderhof palace and all the tourist attractions are so busy at the moment it’s best to get there soon after they open. Linderhof...

What an awful night! I woke wanting the toilet. I was surprised I’d not heard so many people coming to bed. I must have been tired. There was no curtain at the window and from the light on the hillside I thought morning must be near. As soon as someone else got up to go... Continue Reading →
The alarm went off at 6.25 and we were soon ready to leave, having prepared the night before. The early buses don’t stop at the Wankbahn cable car station, next to the camper van site, so we walked down the road to the next bus stop. We were very early and waited… and waited… and...

We passed the Mukkefuck bistro on the way back from the walk yesterday. John liked the name 😉 and it was listed in Tripadvisor so we decided to have lunch there today. The morning had been spent having a lie in, doing ‘housework’, and preparing for the trip up Zugspitze. As we’re staying in a... Continue Reading →
Having a had a fairly early night after watching a film we made an early start today. Instead of taking 2 buses, we decided to drive across town to the Kreuzeck cable car. Today’s walk was relatively easy, with only about 200m of ascent, the rest being downhill through Hollentalklamm, or Hell Valley Gorge. It... Continue Reading →
Ok… Who sniggered? Or is it just me and John that find the name of this mountain amusing? I had an awful night’s sleep with so many hot flushes that I felt as though I was lying in a puddle all night! At 7 we decided we might as well get up and make an... Continue Reading →
