I could happily have stayed at Campingplatz Seecamp for a while longer but what they were charging us, particularly at this time of year, was far too much. This was highlighted while chatting to another Brit visitor, staying long term, who were paying less per week than we were per day! Time to move on.
Kim had been studying the Camping Card book and had noticed a site with good reviews in Oberammergau, home of the famous Passion Play, so that became our target for the day.
Towing Kilometres – Today: 205 Cumulative: 26,631
We got packed up, paid the bill (which was even more than expected because of various taxes added), and set off on the fairly straight-forward 205km tow over to Campingpark Oberammergau.
The B roads in Austria and southern Germany are a delight. Wide, smooth, and flowing through the beautiful surrounding countryside at reasonable speeds with little or no tailgating in evidence. A complete contrast to the unrestricted motorway driving we have witnessed.
We arrived on site in the early afternoon and received a friendly welcome from the owner. We were instructed to find a pitch for ourselves and chose a large pitch close to reception/shower block building.
We were unable to pick up our usual source of UK satellite TV because of a nearby mountain but this sites free Wi-Fi was probably the best we have had anywhere and we were able to stream iPlayer easily. The TV has had more use as the evenings are drawing in, which will get worse tomorrow when the clocks go back.
We intend to stay a few nights to visit the nearby town and other places of interest.
