Back to blighty via Calais…

Standard

The plan was for a day out cycling around the Tegernsee but again we were defeated by the weather. Still the weather patterns during and subsequently to our trip put our holiday into perspective.

More bad weather was forecast for the Thursday and Friday so we decided to abandon our plans to visit Koblenz and decided to head to camping Prumtal in Oberweiss, near Bitburg. We had already re-scheduled our

Hike down Wallberg…

Standard

Our friends from Munich took the train out to Tegernsee and we ascended the Wallberg mountain on the cable car – an ascent of over 1000 meters.

The mountain was still covered in snow – yes, snow just a few days before the start of June!

We hiked down the mountain via one of the “red” descent paths – very gruelling.

The Boss…

Standard

This was the primary reason we ended our trip in Munich. To see the “Boss” at the Olympiastadium in Munich. Not avid Springsteen fans but we had heard so much about his shows that this seemed a must.

The concert was excellent taking place in the most horrific of circumstances. Driving and persistent rain was accompanied by high winds and a temperature of around 40 with wind-chill in the early 30s. Springsteen was great and performed for close to 3 hours in conditions that many said would have caused most rock shows to be cancelled.

An all German affair…

Standard

We had delayed erecting the awning the previous day and so we set about this little exercise on Day 23, the Saturday. In fact, the Saturday of the UEFA cup final between Dortmund and Bayern Munich. A long evening was spent in the Brauhaus at Tegernsee drinking, eating and watching the football. Jubilation for the Bayern fans at the end of the game.
