A
cloudy day and spent a lot of the morning chatting to various friends we'd met yesterday - one chap passes with his emptied loo, another on the way back from washing up, a couple needing a bit of sat-nav advice, another wanting to know which campsite we'd stayed at near Fussen etc. etc., so that we missed the bus we had thought of catching to Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Oh well, we'll go after lunch ... But after a couple of showers of rain, we went off the bus idea and took the van and parked at Wohnmobil stellplatz (special parking for motorhomes) at the foot of the 'Wank' mountain. It was still cloudy, but the lady in the ticket office showed us the CCTV screen of the summit and it wasn't in cloud, so we boarded one of the little gondolas and shot off upwards, passing a 'go ape' on the way. A beautiful 10 minute ride dangling in space with great views.
At the summit was a nice easy-to-find geocache - a shame we can't claim to climbing all the way up to it. Walking for a while and watching the changing cloud formations over the different peaks
was good, but the top of Zugspitze (the highest mountain in Bavaria) was covered all the time.
