Monday 11th September 2017

Woke to a clear blue sky but chilly.  We had forgotten the chill that can be felt in the mountains, plus we are close on 3,000 feet above sea level. After an early breakfast we set off on the B2 towards Innsbruck, looking for a supermarket.  We soon found Lidl, right next door to Aldi. A little shopping in both but neither had all the items we wanted so we journeyed on until we came to a Rewe Supermarkt, a mini supermarket that had just about everything we wanted. Prices were slightly better than the two big supermarkets we visited earlier.

The forecast for today was for rain but up to now there was no sign of it so we decided to take one of the many switchback roads that run between the mountains. After a delightful drive we unwittingly dropped downhill into Mittenwald, a town we visited many years ago and promised ourselves this year we would return to.

If you saw the video of Mittenwald at the beginning of this blog you will see just how Bavarian it is, with its colourful painted houses, ornate window surrounds and the beautiful church with its amazing colourful frescoes. Although dull now and rather chilly we walked for a couple of hours reliving old memories and discovering new places.

We had lunch in the Post Hotel when we were last here, just a beer and a coffee this time.

Notice anything remarkable about the picture above?

We've moved.  Not far, just across the road, to the sunny side of the street.  Where we were was shaded by trees so we asked, they said yes, and we moved. We also put the awning up and made a decision to move from the mountains and Germany into central France, on Sunday, as the weather forecast here isn't good for the next 10 days or so.
