France

Decided to make it back to Calais, as TomTom did not have french maps we struggled to start. £40 in tolls to cross france, arrived at the chunnel 5 days early and told they were too busy and to try the next day. Not impressed with the camp site at Cap Gri-Nez. Chunnel arrived back in UK for 9am, down to dunginess for a bird of birding, then back home.

Black forest

Up early again, stopped for tea, fantastic clock and glass shop. Camped in Oberried. Went for a tough hot walk through the forest.

Donaueschingen

Started the day going to Sigmaringen, driving along impressive danube valley till we arrived in Donaueschingen. Hired bikes and cycled out of town along the Danube, we had a great view of some red kites. Tough cycling back into the wind. Phot at the start of the river.

Bodensee

Up early again, decided not to stop at Innsbruck and carried on to Bodensee, great scenary along to Innsbruck. Nicki had a swim then we had a stroll. Thunder and rain over night.

Salzburg

Traveled across to Salzburg, set camp then caught the bus into town. Very clean and pleasant centre, views from the castle hill great, so many bikes in town. Stayed late in dom square to listen to church bells playing Mozart. We then watched as all those attending the evenings opera arrived.
Had a cold meat platter evening meal above campsite.

After stopping at the service station "Landzeit" it was hard to think anything was going to top it. But Hallstatt is a sensational place. Still misty this morn so walked up Waldburg to see the fantastic waterfalls, then clouds cleared this after, up the funicular to the saltmine. great place, great day.
