Fussen is lovely

Travelling north on the autobahns speed limits were a bit negotiable.  But we had decided to make Fussen our base for 4 nights and explore the surrounds from there.  

It was a good decision.  Fussen was lovely, the hotel was friendly and very homely – I’d say a folksy Heidi meets Bamby sort of style.  

We even found a local doctor to tend to us and she was great, having worked in Melbourne for a year – she understood us.

From Fussen we could easily do all the castles, travel into Munich and even visit some of the ski villages which all appeared to be packed with tourist even in the off season.

We had some great experiences just going to the neighboring town to do our washing and visiting the shopping center.  We drove to Linderhof (a castle) and enjoyed spectacular views in the mirrored lake as we drove along its edge.
