Last night in Germany

On the way back from rock climbing we found a pleasant hotel in a quiet and beautiful village adjacent to Füssen. Then spent the next couple of hours exploring the town.  Magnificent big castle and parkland above. So many of the buildings had painted effecs that we wondered how it was all maintained.  The vibe here is so relaxed and I’m feeling incredibly happy, although sad that this is our last evening.  Stopped for crepes opposite the “Rathaus ” since we had missed lunch.  Then managed to get lost for a bit before retuning to base.  

 Later and refreshed we walked back to town for sundowners and proper supper.  It seemed a crime to use the car because everything around us was so pretty.  

Everyone out on the streets because it was so hot.  Liam experimented on a spinning pole follies later by Guy. Both miraculously managed to keep their supper intact.   Finally on the walk home we just had to indulge one last time …….  

  

Movin’ with wheels – day 12

Stayed at a great hotel in Partenkirchen last night.  I at least got my money’s worth from the Spa – great swim but the sauna just topped it off. Later we all headed downtown to the same place where we spent our first night so long ago. Best pizza around. 

Murals abound, this one on our hotel and so many buildings have painted window surrounds

 Back to today :  proper breakfast with fruit, joghurt and all.  Mothers you can be proud of your sons appetites.  They each had about 6 helpings of everything.    Waterwheel  next to our hotel was a source of amusement 

 Afterwards picked up a hire car and headed through Austria and back out to Fussen.  Why?  Because apparently there are good limestone climbing cliffs here.  Roads and scenery out of this world – green and beautiful.  Looks like a great area for cycling.   Checked out the town for the obligatory kaffee und kuchen (you got me into that Astrid).  

   
The Lech river which runs through here is beautiful and has the most unusual light blue colour. 

Now I am propped up against a pine tree overlooking a lake while boys are scaling a cliff next to me
