Travelled : 209 kilometres from Berchtesgaden to Garmisch-Parkenkirchen, Bavaria.

Stayed : Alpencamp Wank, municipal stellplatz โฌ15 per night, the usual services but electricity โฌ1 per 1.5kw. N47.50568 E11.10748
Its a long mostly slow drive. There are roadworks, slow vehicles and just a lot a lot of afternoon traffic to contend with. Bit like Sydney in a way, but for the Bavarian scenery. We have been getting spoilt in Germany, with mostly short drives of an hour or so.
Anyway we finally drive into Garmisch-Parkenkirchen, the stellplatz is almost the first thing you see on the northern edge of to twin towns. Garmisch-Parkenkirchen originally founded as two seperate villages merged at some point to become impossible to spell or pronounce. The stellplatz is a well organised arrangement in the usual German style, lots of rules and signs. Situated adjoining a chairlift carpark its proves to be a 10 minute walk into town, but you get a free local bus pass for your โฌ15 fee.
We find ourselves parked next to Karl and Teresa from England and their lovely dog.
We travel back down to the glacier by a short gondola that descent around 300 metres and throw a few snow balls at each other. Then we travel back down by cog-railway to the base of the mountain. Its a long slow trip down in the tunnel and not particularly interesting. Then train and bus back to the safety of the Hymer.
We start chatting to Karl and Teresa again and the beers come out, the rest is history but it was a great day.

Great text and photos
We went there in the summer of 1978 – fantastic
Most of your blogs contain something about having a beer – sounds like you are really enjoying yourselves
We are currently free camping near Wellington NSW on our way to Tasmania – has been getting down to aroun 3 degrees C overnight
Looking forward to the Storm beating the Sharks this afternoon – pity the Broncos didn’t make it
We are trying to hurry this holiday up so Europe 2017 gets closer for us
