Landsberg am Lech.h.

This is our stop for tonight, mainly because we wanted an easy run to Fussen in the morning, and from there to Immenstadt to get Helga to hospital. I say it was our main reason, but there are two others. As usual this is a beautiful place, with lots to see, the architecture just blows me away, and it was snowing. In fact, woke up this morning to snow covered fences and roves, but none on the ground. The temperature is 0°

We can’t say this hasn’t been a varied trip, a wee bit of everything!

So anyway, we were only about sixty miles from where we had to take Helga. During the week it allegedly repairs motorhomes etc., and at the weekend is a STD clinic for BMW drivers as well as those favouring Audis.

As we set off it started to snow, we had to go over a hill that took us up to 2830 feet above sea level. It certainly is a varied trip. We arrived at the repair centre after unknowingly driving past it for about three miles. Thanks to a nice German chap called Villy, we doubled back.

The girl at the reception desk, was just a tad frosty, but when she told me they only fixed caravans I could have choked her, but not as much as when she told me the only nearby place was near Munich, and eighty-five miles away!

Worse still, to get there we had to double back on ourselves and pass last nights’ town. Turned out the people in the Hymer centre had not realized the error of their ways. The place we wanted was only thirty miles away from Landstadt!!!!

So after blizzards and total concentration on those mountain roads, we finally got to the other place.

Two techies were all over her, but Helga was passed fit and well. They thought the problem was the invertor being left on accidentally. This happens so easily because of where the switch is located. I came up with a cunning plan to fix the errant switch, and the techies implemented it. Alles klar.

Now we find ourselves on a campsite, only to get the batteries fully charged, it is between a forest on one side, the beautiful Alps on the other, and a gorgeous lake in the middle. Although it was getting dark, we went to feed the ducks, and saw an otter sneaking about, it is so stunning, and the cost? €14.30 or around 12 quid!
