Nr. Ebersbach - Neubeuern, Germany

Thursday 8th August

Moving on this morning, we travelled to a campsite we'd picked out just east of Ulm.  However, we thought it looked rather shabby as we drove in and wondered if we'd made the right choice.  But sometimes decisions are made for us - the lady in reception told us that they were full, she phoned another site and booked us a pitch there!  And what a beautiful place it was too - Camping Stubenweiher, way off the beaten track, lots of space and by a small lake.

 Friday 9th August

Moving on again, we hit the traffic just after Muchen - but at least we could see the mountains!
 After an hour of creeping along we decided to come off the motorway sooner than planned and headed for a camperstop in Neubeuern in Bavaria.
 The shop second from the left is the bakery/cafe where we enjoyed kaffee, eis chocolade and apfel kuchen.
 The church was a cool break from the 31deg.  Very ornate, but beautiful.
 
 The castle on the rock.  We walked up to it - it appears to be a school now.

    Glad you are enjoying sunshine and appear to have avoided the storms. Fred and I are in Amiens for the night, well on our way home. We are going to visit the old town tomorrow before heading to Calais. The family had a bad time getting home, particularly Al and Andy who were stuck on the tarmac at Basel and then found themselves with no trains going past Three Bridges! It seems that most of the transport network was affected by power cuts. Hope to see some more pictures soon. xx

Another day at the lake

Thursday 29th August Today started really well.  We bought rolls from the little wooden chalet bakery at the campsite, made 2 x 2 picnic lunches, put the kettle on, walked to the bus stop to meet Anne and Chris Teager off the bus from Bled, came back for a coffee sitting outside the van, all walked to the car park outside the site for the free bus to the lake.  All very similar to the day Natalie and David came - so far. We had decided to walk around the lake as far as we wanted, have our picnic on a bench, have a paddle in the lovely clear water, find a couple of geocaches and turn round when we felt we'd gone far enough. Our picnic, lunch and paddle stop.   All was going so well and we were so busy chatting, we hadn't really noticed the clouds - of course we'd heard the rumbles, but that, we assured Anne and Chris was normal around here.  People were out on the boat trip, others were swimming, others paddle boarding - some were even pretty well stri...

Malta, Austria - Bad Aibling & Rottenbuch, Germany

Sunday 1st September Before we left Malta this morning, we drove up the valley to the parking for the Fallbach waterfall that we'd seen from our walk yesterday.  A valley view while approaching the falls. Having seen the highest waterfall in Slovenia, this is the highest in Austria.   If you look closely on the rock face, you will see some 'ants' ...  ... these are 3 of the 5.  Looking south to the Austrian/Slovenian alps.  We would have loved to have had some small children with us visiting the waterfall because the hillside leading up has been transformed into the most amazing children's playground using some streams of the tumbling water.  There are all sorts of things to climb on, paddle in, sit on and play with.  Then we left the Maltatal, drove north to Salzburg on the motorway, queued to get into Germany(!) and decided that we would enjoy the slower, more scenic route to our next destination than being stuck in heav...

Raztez Nr. Brestanica - Kamp Dolenjske Toplice

Thursday 22nd August Today we retraced our route back to Celje - had our lunch in the park where we stayed a few days ago - then followed a very scenic route through the Savinja valley and then beside the wide Sava River to Brestanica.  We stopped there to admire the castle and watch a couple of trains through the little station.   As Peter has commented - track safety is still in the dark ages!  Then up a twisty road to a couple of fishing lakes in Raztez and the free camperstop there.  Note the cut-out shape in the fence ...   We had our own cafe/restaurant too - had cuppas in the afternoon and dinner in the evening.   An uphill walk through the woods. Friday 23rd August .... Before we left we felt the need to line up with the cut-out!!  Rather a dull day, but such lovely countryside.  Everywhere fields of corn on the cob.  Seems to be their main crop.  Soon arrived at Dolenjske Toplice, set...
